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.

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.


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?

There would be 393 bases on the mRNA strand corresponding to 131 amino acids, as each amino acid is coded for by a sequence of three bases (1 codon). By multiplying the number of amino acids by 3, you can determine the total number of bases required to encode the protein sequence on mRNA.


How many strand of mRNA are transcribed from the two unzipped strands of DNA?

One mRNA strand is made.


How many mRNA codons are functional and code for an amino acid?

61


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.


A codon is a triplet base sequence?

mRNA


How many strands does mRNA have?

mRNA typically consists of a single strand of nucleotides. It serves as a temporary copy of the genetic information in DNA and carries this information from the nucleus to the ribosomes for protein synthesis.


How many amino acids are coded for by the sequence on side a of this DNA strand?

It depends on the length of the mRNA. Because one codon codes for one amino acid and there are three bases to a codon, the number of amino acids that are synthesized into a protein can be determined by taking the number of bases on the mRNA and dividing it by three.


How many different mRNA correspond to arginine?

These will be the codes for arginine: CGU, CGC, CGA, and CGG. See the chart at the link below:


A a g c t c t t a c g a a t a t t c how many amino acids are formed?

Amino acids are formed by translating mRNA codons, not directly from DNA. In this DNA sequence, there are no stop codons present. It would be necessary to transcribe this DNA sequence into mRNA and then translate it into amino acids.


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
