No, tryptophan is an amino acid, not a codon. The start codon is AUG, which codes for the amino acid methionine.

Complementary to an mRNA codon?
it depends on the codon spcified. The tRNA will have the complementary strand along with an amino acid, for which is specified by the mRNA. if the mRNA codon was "CGA" the tRNA codon would have an amino acid and the complementary codon of "GCU"
What are the mrna triplet?
codon
What is the three base sequence in mRNA?
called CODON.
What is the relationship between codons and anticodons?
A codon is found in the DNA sequence and in the mRNA sequence. The anticodon is the opposite sequence that would match with the sequence of the codon and allows pairing of the anticodon with the codon
What is mrna codon for T A C?
AUG
What is the start codon found on mRNA for all proteins?
AUG is the starting codon found on mrna for all proteins
What is the stop codon in most molecules of mRNA?
stop codon on mRNA
Which codon specifies tryptophan?
UGG

What name is assigned to augwhich stands for methionine in which all mRNA molecules start?
The start codon. The codon AUG is generally referred as the start codon because the translation of mRNA begins on AUG.
What are the bases on the mRNA strands are called?
A 3-base sequence of nitrogen bases on a molecule of mRNA is called a codon.
What are the mrna triplet?
codon
How many bases are needed to specify an mRNA codon?
3 bases are needed to specify an mRNA codon.
What is the three base sequence in mRNA?
called CODON.
Why does mrna mutation affect the amino acid sequence?
The codon UGU codes for the amino acid Cysteine. The codon UGG codes for the amino acid Tryptophan. Therefore the mutation will cause the amino acid Cysteine to be replaced with Tryptophan. These amino acids are quite different, and the final shape of the protein could be changed as a result. This could affect the function of the protein.
What is the term for a 3-nucleotide sequence on mRNA that codes for an amino acid?
the three nucleotides on a mRNA that codes for a amino acid is called a codon
What is the start codon for mRNA?
The start codon for mRNA is AUG, which codes for the amino acid methionine. It signals the ribosome to start translation and is crucial for initiating protein synthesis.
