True or false A codon signifies either a specific amino acid or a stop signal?

It is false that all amino acids are specified by only one codon. The codon is simply the language that is used to relay information concerning the messenger ribosomal nucleic acid.


What does a group of three nucleotides code for?

DNA nucleotides 'code' for RNA copies of the DNA strand, but the true 'coding' of nucleotides happen in the ribosome where amino acids are matched to the RNA nucleotides. Nucleotides in DNA are only are present to store genetic data. When a particular gene needs to be used or a protein needs to be made, a RNA copy of the DNA will be made, using the slightly different RNA nucleotides (adenine, uracil, cytosine and guanine). This copy then leaves the nucleus and travels to the ribosome, where the RNA nucleotides are used to assemble amino acids into proteins. Each amino acid matches up to a three-nucleotide sequence.


Are nucleotides are polymers made of amino acids?

The DNA of all living organisms is composed of the same nucleotides It is only the sequence of nucleotides and quantity of DNA an organism possesses that cause the differences between organisms?

Yes, all living organisms share the same four nucleotides that make up DNA: adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine. The unique arrangement and quantity of these nucleotides in an organism's DNA are what determine its genetic characteristics and differences from other organisms. These variations in DNA sequence and content contribute to the diversity seen among different species.


Why is the anticodon AGA complementary to the codon UCU?

The only base-pairs that are possible are: Adenine - Uracil (for RNA, since the question refers to codon and anticodon) Guanine - Cytosine The reason for this particular base pairing is that it is the only possible combination for the hydrogen bonds between the bases to be effectively made.


How does the eukaryotic initiation complex locate the true start codon?

The eukaryotic initiation complex locates the true start codon by scanning the mRNA molecule from the 5' cap, aided by initiation factors. The complex recognizes the start codon (usually AUG) in a favorable sequence context and assembles around it to initiate translation.


Is the 5 carbon sugar in DNA nucleotides called a ribose?

It is true, RNA nucleotides contain the five-carbon sugar ribose.


Caused by the insertion or deletion of nucleotides in DNA?

Insertion or deletion of nucleotides in DNA can lead to frameshift mutations, in which the reading frame is altered. This can result in a completely different protein being produced, leading to potential changes in the organism's function or traits.


A codon of CUA on mRNA will have the corresponding anticodon?

the corresponding anticodon will be GAT because the C transfers to G, the U transfers to A and the A transfers to T----- DR. Mohamed AK-47
