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.

What does tRNA have that mRNA does not have?

tRNA has a specific anticodon sequence that complements the mRNA codons, enabling it to bring specific amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis. mRNA does not have this complementary sequence to directly bind with amino acids.


A messenger RNA mRNA is 336 nucleotides long including the start and stop codons the number of amino acids in the protein translated from this mRNA is?

The number of nucleotides in an mRNA is directly related to the number of amino acids in the resulting protein. Since each amino acid is coded for by a sequence of 3 nucleotides (codon), the number of amino acids is determined by dividing the total number of nucleotides (336) by 3. Therefore, a mRNA of 336 nucleotides will translate to a protein with 112 amino acids.


Coverting mrna into a sequence of amino acids that make up protein is called what?

The process of converting mRNA into a sequence of amino acids is called translation. During translation, mRNA is read by ribosomes to produce a specific sequence of amino acids according to the genetic code. This sequence of amino acids then folds into a protein with a specific function.


Does tRNA transfer amino acid during translation or transcription?

tRNA transfers amino acids during translation. Transfer RNA molecules are responsible for bringing amino acids to the ribosome where they are incorporated into a growing polypeptide chain according to the mRNA sequence. Transcription is the process of synthesizing mRNA from DNA, and tRNA is not directly involved in this process.


List the amino acids in the order they would appear in the polypeptide coded for by the mRNA?

The order of amino acids in a polypeptide is determined by the sequence of codons in the mRNA. The genetic code determines that specific codons correspond to specific amino acids. The mRNA is read in sets of three nucleotides (codons), each of which codes for an amino acid, resulting in the correct sequence of amino acids in the polypeptide.

What is directly responsible for the sequence of amino acids in a protein?

The sequence of amino acids in a protein is directly determined by the sequence of nucleotides in the gene that codes for that protein. This process occurs during protein synthesis, where the genetic information is transcribed from DNA to mRNA and then translated into a specific sequence of amino acids.


What are the differences between codon anticodon?

Codons are three bases on mRNA which go to the ribosome which translates into amino acids. The amino acids are attached to tRNA which has the anticodon on it which will bind to the codon on the mRNA. This is how the ribosome picks out the correct amino acid. the tRNA with the anti codon just binds to the codon and the amino acids start binding together via peptide bonds.

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


Why ribosomes make protein?

Ribosomes are protein factory that synthesize proteins from amino acids (no other organelle can do this). Ribosomes structures containing site for protein production. when the mRNA exported to cytoplasm, ribosomes sense it and bind to start protein synthesis.


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.


What is the sequence of events in translation?

1 ribosomes bind to mRNA 2 Amino acid-carrying tRNA molecules bind to mRNA 3 the polypeptide elongates as new amino acids are added 4 a stop codon on the mRNA is reached 5 the polypeptide is released 6 the ribosomes dissociate from the mRNA plato=C
