A codon is a set of three nucleotides that specifies which amino acid will be added to the growing protein during translationl. Since a codon is found in DNA and RNA, the NUCLEOTIDE BASESare the molecules that make up codons

In which molecule would you find an anti-codon?
an anti-codon is a code for an amino acid found on protein
What is a set of 3 nitrogenous bases in rna called?
A set of three bases in an RNA molecule is called a codon. And one codon codes for one amino acid.
The three bases on the tRNA molecule that are complementary to one of the mRNA codons are called the?
putos - what in the hell is putos? it sounds NASTY
What is anticondon?
An anticodon is the three-base sequence on a tRNA molecule that pairs with a specific mRNA codon.
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"
In which molecule would you find an anti-codon?
an anti-codon is a code for an amino acid found on protein
Where do you find anticodon?
The anti-codon is the molecule of mRNA in the nucleus which copies the codon from DNA in reverse. This process is reversed again when tRNA copies the mRNA in reverse, thereby restoring the original codon sequence.
What part of the dna sequence would be involved if the trna amino acid was agc?
An RNA codon which reads "UCG" would pair with a tRNA molecule which has the anti-codon "AGC".
What is a sequence of three nitogenous bases in a messenger-RNA molecule called?
condon
What is each nucleotide triplet in mrna that specifies a specific amino acid called?
im pretty sure its a codon
What molecule contain anticodons?
The tRNA gene sequence is the anti-codon while mRNA is the codon sequence.
What is a set of 3 nitrogenous bases in rna called?
A set of three bases in an RNA molecule is called a codon. And one codon codes for one amino acid.
What is the initiator codon in most molecule of mRNA?
AUG
An anti-codon is part of a molecule of?
Transfer RNA. tRNA.
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.
When does the polypeptide stop growing?
It reaches a stop codon on the mRNA molecule
A stop codon on an mRNA molecule does not code for any?
amino acid
