In the genetic code a group of three nitrogen bases codes for the attachment of a specific?

amino acid to a tRNA molecule. This group of three bases is called a codon and each codon corresponds to a specific amino acid. The process by which a particular amino acid is attached to its corresponding tRNA molecule is called translation.


What are the three pyrimidine bases?

There are 2 groups of nitrogen bases. These are Pyrimidine and Purine. In the Purine group, there are Adenine and Guanine, In the Pyrimidine group, there are Cytosine, Thymine(replaced by Uracil in RNA).


What is the three nucleotide sequence found on the messenger RNA that codes for an amino acid called?

It is a codon.The word was coined in 1962 by Sydney Brenner for a group of three nucleotides (or their bases) in DNA that code for one amino acid. Since then the word has also been extended to apply to messenger RNA.


How nitrogenous bases code for amino acids?

Nitrogenous bases in mRNA (adenine, cytosine, guanine, and uracil) form codons (three-base sequences) that code for specific amino acids during protein synthesis. Each codon corresponds to a specific amino acid, allowing for the translation of genetic information from nucleic acids to proteins through the genetic code.


What is a molecule found in all DNA and RNA bases?

The nitrogen bases themselves are molecules. DNA and RNA both contain the nitrogen bases adenine, guanine, and cytosine. DNA contains the nitrogen base thymine, while RNA contains the nitrogen base uracil instead.

Nitrogen containing bases


What chemical is the genetic material made of?

The molecule which makes up the genetic material are series of chemicals called nitrogen bases held in a long winding helix. These nitrogen bases are used like letters or characters in a simple code.

What are the rungs of the RNA ladder made of?

DNA ladder is made up of a phosphate group, 5-carbon sugar, and nitrogen bases. 5-carbon sugar is deoxiribose in DNA. these nitrogen bases are adenine, guanine, thymine, and cytosine. in these nitrogen bases, adenine bonds with thymine, and guanine bonds with cytosin. In this DNA ladder, the phosphate group and 5-carbon sugar act as two sides of the ladder and the middle of the ladder is nitrogen pair bases.-SALMA ABRAHIM(:


What macromolecule have nitrogen?

Proteins and nucleic acids contain nitrogen.Proteins use nitrogen as part of amino group, which is NH2.Nucleic acids use nitrogen for nitrogen bases such as adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine.


The information of DNA is actually coded in the sequence of nitrogen containing what?

The information of DNA is coded in the sequence of nitrogen-containing bases: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T). These nitrogenous bases form base pairs with each other, with A pairing with T and G pairing with C, to create the genetic code.


What is DNA broken into?

DNA is broken into nucleotides. Each nucleotide has one of 4 bases. A group of 3 bases codes for one amino acid.


What is the group number for nitrogen?

the group number for nitrogen is group 15.
