AUG. The amino acid methionine. Bases read; adenine-uracil-guanine
The messenger RNA strand. When the tRNA inserts itself between the two portions of the ribosome attached to the mRNA strand, the specific tRNA depends on the 3 nitrogen bases on the mRNA (the codon) that are about to be read. The tRNA that arrives has a corresponding "anticodon" to go with the codon on the mRNA. For example, if the nitrogen bases on the mRNA strand are adenine, guanine, and cytocine the tRNA will have an anticodon of uracil, cytocine and guanine. The tRNA that has the corresponding anticodon to the codon on the mRNA will bring with it a specific amino acid but it is the codon on the mRNA that ultimately decided which amino acid is next in line.
Codon
Valine (Val)
The codon UGC refers to Cysteine, which consists of Uracil, Glycine and Cytosine in sequence
DNA: adenine-thymine, guanine-cytosine RNA: adenine-uracil, guanine-cytosine
Pro. Thr.
AUG. The amino acid methionine. Bases read; adenine-uracil-guanine
adenine (A) forms a base pair with thymine (T)guanine (G) forms a base pair with cytosine (C)In RNA, thymine is replaced by uracil (U)
THEY ARE ALL NITROGENOUS BASES IN THE DNA adenine and guanine are purines thymine and cytosine are pyrimidines
Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine, Thymine.
Pro. Thr.
Proteins are made of amino acids. Nucleic acids are made of a sugar (ribose in RNA and deoxyribose in DNA), a phosphate group and nitrogen bases [thymine (or uracil in RNA), cytosine, guanine, and adenine].
Nucleic acids are the building blocks of DNA and RNA.The five nucleic acids are:3 pyrimidine bases: Cytosine and Thymine (or Uracil in RNA) next to2 purine bases: Adenine and Guanine. None of them contains an amino group which is essential in protein formation of amino acids.Proteins are built of the building blocks called amino acids. (there are about twenty different amino acids)
Proteins are made of amino acids. Nucleic acids are made of a sugar (ribose in RNA and deoxyribose in DNA), a phosphate group and nitrogen bases [thymine (or uracil in RNA), cytosine, guanine, and adenine].
RNA or Ribonucleic Acid is made up of sugars and phosphates as well as nucleotides, Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine and Uracil.(which takes the place of Thymine in DNA) The nucleotides connect up to the other ones in DNA which has been split apart by enzymes then it makes up an amino acid chain called a poly peptide.
A codon is made up of a sequence of three nucleotides. In DNA, a nucleotide contains the sugar deoxyribose, a phosphate group, and one of four nitrogen bases; adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine. In RNA, a nucleotide contains the sugar ribose, a phosphate group, and one of four nitrogen bases; adenine, uracil, guanine, and cytosine. Each codon represents an amino acid, or a start or stop signal.
