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.


How many nitrogen bases make-up a codon?

Three nitrogenous bases make up a single codon.


What do you call a set three nitrogen bases?

A set of three nitrogen bases is called a codon. Codons are the basic units of the genetic code in DNA and RNA that specify the amino acids to be incorporated into a protein during translation.


How many bases needed to specify three amino acids?

i think nine bases are needed for three amino acids because i think it takes three bases to make one amino acid


What is a codon made of?

A codon is made up of a sequence of three nucleotides. In DNA, a nucleotide contains the sugar deoxyribose, a phosphate group, and one of four nitrogen bases; adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine. In RNA, a nucleotide contains the sugar ribose, a phosphate group, and one of four nitrogen bases; adenine, uracil, guanine, and cytosine. Each codon represents an amino acid, or a start or stop signal.


If there are three amino acids how many bases would there be on the M RNA to make these three?

Each amino acid is encoded by a set of three nucleotide bases in mRNA, known as a codon. Therefore, to encode three amino acids, there would need to be a total of nine nucleotide bases in the mRNA (3 amino acids x 3 bases per amino acid = 9 bases).


What is the three letter sequence that codes for an amino acid?

One letter accounts for one nitrogen base, which is part of a codon, which codes for one amino acid.
