The code for creating amino acids is said to be redundant because some codons code for the same amino acid (i.e. there is redundancy because several codons have the same function).
For example, the RNA codons AAA and AAG both code for the amino acid Lysine. The codons ACU, ACC, ACA and ACG all code for Threonine.

If mRNA has the code CAAGAC which amino acids does it code for?
Aspartic acid and Glutamine.
If you have aaaacugag as your mRNA what amino acids will that code for?
Lysine Threonine Glutamic acid
What carry instructions for making proteins?
mRNA
What are the pieces of a split gene called in eukaryotes?
exons - good parts of gene that code for amino acids introns- "junk DNA" that do not code for amino acids of a protein ( before leaving the nucles mRNA must have these removed, then it can travel into the cytoplasm)
Process of converting information in mRNA into amino acids?
Translation
If mRNA has the code CAAGAC which amino acids does it code for?
Aspartic acid and Glutamine.
Where amino acids are put together according to the mRNA code?
At the Ribosomes.
If you have aaaacugag as your mRNA what amino acids will that code for?
Lysine Threonine Glutamic acid
Which RNA molecules are involvedin the synthesis or a protein?
mRNA, rRNA, tRNA mRNA transcribes the genetic code and carries it to a ribosome, which is composed of rRNA and proteins, and tRNA carries amino acids to the ribosome where the amino acids are assembled in the correct sequence according to the mRNA code.
What is required to produce proteins from amino acids?
An mRNA transcript carries the genetic code to the ribosome. tRNA molecules bring amino acids to the ribosome for translation. The amino acids polymerize into functional proteins.
What type of molecule is the tRNA bring to the mRNA?
tRNA brings amino acids to the mRNA on the ribosome.
Is an amino acid a mRNA or tRNA?
An amino acid is not mRNA or tRNA. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, while mRNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome to be translated into a protein, and tRNA is responsible for bringing specific amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis.
Which molecule that fastens amino acids down on mRNA?
The molecule that fastens amino acids down on the mRNA is transfer RNA, or tRNA.
What carry instructions for making proteins?
mRNA
What is the triplet code on mrna called?
The triplet code on mRNA is known as a codon. This 3-base sequence codes for a specific amino acid to be added to the chain (i.e. protein) being created.
What is the substance responsible for transferring the DNA message into amino acids?
DNA is changed into mRNA. from there, the mRNA goes to a ribosome and is translated into amino acids.
Do amino acids bind directly to the mRNA?
mRNA connects with the subunits of the ribosome. Each codon is read specifically and a matching anticodon brought by a tRNA is transferred. Each matched triplet adds amino acids to the polypeptide chain.
