There are 6 codon here. Look at the letters and put them into threes. Those three are called codons. Each codes for one amino acid and all of these is a string of threes which will make a small protein.

∙ 11y agoThe number of codons on an mRNA strand would depend on the protein for which the mRNA strand is coded for and there are no set amount or average amount. Codons can last from a few to 27,000! These codons on the mRNA strand are used to determine what amino acid will be needed for the production the specific protein coded and is what attracts the tRNA to bring in the needed mRNA during protein synthesis.

∙ 14y agoThere are two codons because three nitrogen bases make up a codon on the mRNA.

A protein contains 131 amino acids How many bases will there be on the mRNA strand corresponding to these amino acids and how do you know?
131*3=393 bases might be there on mRNA strand 3 codons of mRNA strand deduce an aminoacid of a protein, so here, mRNA strand bases are being asked.
How many strands does mRNA have?
a MRNA strand is a strand made up of messenger ribosenucleicacids
How many codons are there in an mRNA with 75 nucleotides?
Every codon is three nucleotide pairs, so you would have 25 codons.
How many strands of mRNA are made during the process of transcription?
A single mRNA strand is typically produced but a single strand can make many many copies of the protein encoded on the molecule.
If a section of mRNA contains 144 nucleotides how many codons does it contain?
Codons are read in triplets (3) so divide 144 by 3

If an mRNA is made up of 60 bases how many codons does it contain and how many amino acid does it code for?
A codon is exactly three bases long, so an mRNA strand with 60 bases would contain 20 codons. The first codon will encode for methionine (this is called the "start" codon) and the last codon will be a "stop" codon, which does not encode for an amino acid. Thus, an mRNA strand of 60 bases will code for 19 amino acids. Keep in mind, it is possible for a stop codon to be anywhere on the mRNA strand, and when a stop codon reaches the ribosome, translation must stop. For example, if an mRNA strand contained 30 codons, and the 15th were a stop codon, the mRNA would only code for 14 amino acids and then be done. The other 15 codons would go untranslated.
How many strand of mRNA are transcribed from the two unzipped strands of DNA?
One mRNA strand is made.
How many strands does mRNA have?
a MRNA strand is a strand made up of messenger ribosenucleicacids
How many mRNA codons are functional and code for an amino acid?
61
How many codons are there in an mRNA with 75 nucleotides?

A codon is a triplet base sequence?
mRNA

How many bases on a strand of mRNA code for one amino acid?
3 nucleotides
How many strands of DNA are used for transcription?
No, just one strand, the coding strand is used to create a mRNA molecule in the process of transcription.
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!
