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

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 tRNA molecule will match the mRNA codon produced from the following DNA code?

To determine the matching tRNA molecule for an mRNA codon derived from a given DNA sequence, first, transcribe the DNA to mRNA by replacing thymine (T) with uracil (U). Then, identify the corresponding codon from the mRNA. Each codon consists of three nucleotides, and the tRNA anticodon will be complementary to this codon. If you provide the specific DNA sequence, I can help you find the exact tRNA molecule.


In which molecule would you find an anti-codon?

an anti-codon is a code for an amino acid found on protein


Suppose one of the bases on the mRNA was changed would the same tRNA molecule still attach to the strand?

If a base on the mRNA is changed, it may affect the binding of the corresponding tRNA molecule as the anti-codon of the tRNA needs to match the codon on the mRNA for proper attachment. If the base change results in a different codon that still codes for the same amino acid, then a tRNA with the appropriate anti-codon can still attach. However, if the change alters the codon to encode a different amino acid, a different tRNA molecule with the corresponding anti-codon for the new codon would attach instead.


What is a sequence of three nitogenous bases in a messenger-RNA molecule called?

A sequence of three nitrogenous bases in an mRNA molecule is called a codon. Each codon codes for a specific amino acid during protein synthesis.

What molecule contain anticodons?

The tRNA gene sequence is the anti-codon while mRNA is the codon sequence.


What is the initiator codon in most molecule of mRNA?

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.


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 is the sequence of three nucleotides in a DNA molecule called?

A sequence of three nucleotides in a DNA molecule is called a codon. Each codon codes for a specific amino acid or a signaling function in protein synthesis.
