Why do you have stop codons that signal the end of the amino acid chain?

A stop codon signals a termination of translation - in other words that the protein being built from the amino acid instructions is complete. They bind "release" factors that allow the completed protein to come away from the template.

Why is it important that a signal to stop translation be part of protein synthesis?
They signal to stop protein synthesis and release the amino acid chain. Stop codons are important because they signal the end of synthesis. Sometimes, mRNA is longer than what is needed for the amino acids so without stop codons, synthesis would continue until the end of the strand of RNA, leaving you with an incorrect amino acid chain.
How many bases do codons have?
Codons are made up of three bases/nucleotides in DNA or mRNA. Each codon encodes an amino acid or signifies a stop signal. Hope that helps!
What are codon and anticodons?
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.
What is the role of tRNA durning translation?
A tRNA molecule brings an amino acid from the cytoplasm to its correct location on the mRNA molecule at the ribosome where it will be added to the amino acid chain. A tRNA molecule has an anticodon that is complimentary to a specific mRNA codon for a particular amino acid.
How do amino acids specify codons?
Nucleutoides.

What amino acid chain will be formed by the codons pro cal pro?
Those are not DNA or RNA codons.
What amino acid chain will be formed by the codons shown below AAG UGA?
Gly Lys Cys
What does an amino acid table show?
Amino acid tables are used to translate mRNA codons into amino acid sequences. They also tell whem mRNA codons produce stops.
Does every codon represent an amino acid?
No, not every codon represents an amino acid. There are several codons known as "stop" codons (UGA, UAA, UAG) that do not code for an amino acid; instead they code for the termination of translation.
Each codon calls for a specific?
amino acid
What the possible codons for the amino acid proline?
proline!
Do DNA have codons?
Yes, DNA has codons. Codons are three nucleotides of DNA which code for a single amino acid.
How many bases do codons have?
Codons are made up of three bases/nucleotides in DNA or mRNA. Each codon encodes an amino acid or signifies a stop signal. Hope that helps!
What are the DNA codons for phenylalanine?
There are two codons that code for the amino acid phenylalanine: UUU and UUC.
What m-rna and t-rna codes do you use to make a protein chain with the amino acids glutamine glycine and histidine?
mRNA codon for amino acid glutamine is CAA or CAG, anticodon of tRNA for amino acid glutamine is GUU or GUC. mRNA codons for amino acid glucine are GGU, GGC, GGA and GGG, anticodons are CCA, CCG, CCU and CCC. Codons for histadine are CAU and CAC, anticodons are GUA and GUG. The code of protein chain with amino acid glutamine, glucine and histadine depends on the sequence of glutamine, glucine and histadine.
What is the function of a stop condon?
The stop codons (UAA, UAG, UGA) stop the transcription process in forming an amino acid chain and therefore a protein. It signals the end of the chain.
