amino acidsAmino acids make up proteins. It happened in cytoplasm of the cell where mRNA, ribosomes, tRNA work together to synthesize proteins. The message for the proteins sequence is coded in DNA.
Translation
ribosomesProteins are made in ribosomes. mRNA transcribed from DNA carries the message of protein sequences. In ribosome mRNA interact with tRNAs to form polypeptides from amino acids.ribosomes translate proteins from amino acids. The message needed for the synthesis is coded in mRNA. mRNA is transcribed from DNA for this and exported to cytosol.
GUU, GUC, GUA, GUG
Scientists used the amino acid code to find the DNA base sequence,i.e. they worked backwards from mRNA to DNA.They figured out the DNA sequence from the amino acid sequence- APEXthey figured out the dna sequence from the amino acid sequence
The sequence UAG is the mRNA codon that means "stop" and does not code for an amino acid.
mRNA
mRNA (messenger RNA)
The amino acid sequence is: UUU-UCU-UCC-CCU-CGG-CGA-AGG-AUU.
Codon = 3 amino acid sequence found on mRNA. Anti codon = 3 amino acid sequence found on tRNA.The codons are for the traslation of mRNa to an amino acid sequence by using ribosomes.
The linear sequence of codons on mRNA determines the linear sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide.
list the amino acids the way they would appear in the polypeptides coded for by the mRNA
The sequence of codons in mRNA, or messenger RNA, is most directly responsible for the sequence of amino acids in a protein. Each codon is comprised of 3 nucleotides.
mRNA has the codon sequence that exactly correspond to the amino acid sequence. The DNA has two strands. Though one of the strands (coding strand) carries the same information as on the mRNA, it contains unspliced introns that will mess up the amino acid sequence.
The sequence of amino acids in a protein is determined by the sequence of nucleotides in the mRNA, and this is determined by the sequence of nucleotide bases in the DNA.
First we convert the nucleic acid into a messenger RNA, mRNA, by the process of transcription. Then, in the ribosome, we convert this mRNA unto a polypeptide ( the amino acid sequence ) by the process of translation.
Converting messenger RNA, mRNA into a sequence of amino acids that make up protein is called translation.
