A codon consists of a series 3 nucleotides. There are 4 possible nucleotides. These 4 nucleotides could appear in any combination with any number of repeats. That being the case, to find the possible number of mRNA codons requires simple math:
4 * 4 * 4 = 64
So there are 64 possible codons.
What else can I help you with?
Which type of RNA contains the codon?
Messenger RNA (mRNA) contains the codons, which are three-nucleotide sequences that code for specific amino acids during protein synthesis. The codons on mRNA are recognized by transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules, which carry the corresponding amino acids to the ribosome for protein production.
Which type of RNA contains codons?
Messenger RNA (mRNA) contains codons, which are sequences of three nucleotides that encode specific amino acids during protein synthesis. Each codon in mRNA corresponds to a specific amino acid or a signal to start or stop protein translation.
What are the complement of the codons and are found on the opposite side of he rna?
tRNA (or transfer RNA) molecules contain an anti-codon loop that contains within it a triplet complementary nucleotide sequence to that of the codon. This triplet is called the anti-codon
What is the sequence of 3 RNA bases called?
Among many things an RNA primer for DNA replication.
Which type of rna carries the codons for proteins synthesis from the DNA to the ribosome?
Messenger RNA (mRNA) carries the codons for protein synthesis from the DNA in the nucleus to the ribosome in the cytoplasm. The mRNA is transcribed from the DNA and serves as a template for protein production through the process of translation.
Where are codons and anticpdpns found?
Codons are found on messenger RNA, while anticodons are found on transfer RNA
What type of RNA has neither anticodons or codons?
Transfer RNA (tRNA) has anticodons, messenger RNA (mRNA) has codons, and ribosomal RNA (rRNA) plays a structural role in the ribosome. Therefore, regulatory RNA, such as microRNA or small interfering RNA, do not have either anticodons or codons.
Which type of RNA contains the codon?
Messenger RNA (mRNA) contains the codons, which are three-nucleotide sequences that code for specific amino acids during protein synthesis. The codons on mRNA are recognized by transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules, which carry the corresponding amino acids to the ribosome for protein production.
Which type of RNA contains codons?
Messenger RNA (mRNA) contains codons, which are sequences of three nucleotides that encode specific amino acids during protein synthesis. Each codon in mRNA corresponds to a specific amino acid or a signal to start or stop protein translation.
In a living system the structure of an enzyme is determined by the sequence of?
Codons in the RNA.
What in a gene determines a protein's composition?
A gene is made up of triplets of nucleotides called codons. Each codon translates for a a specific amino acid. Some codons don't translate for an amino acid; they are called stop codons or non-sense codons. When m-RNA transcribes the codon triplets and carry them to t-RNA, each amino acid is assembled by r-RNA in the order speicifed in the gene. Thus, the sequence of the codons in the genes is responsible for the sequence of proteins.
Three kinds of RNA?
The three kinds of RNA are: mRNA (messenger RNA) tRNA (transport RNA) rRNA
What are the complement of the codons and are found on the opposite side of the rna?
The complement of the codon is the anticodon.
What are the complement of the codons and are found on the opposite side of he rna?
tRNA (or transfer RNA) molecules contain an anti-codon loop that contains within it a triplet complementary nucleotide sequence to that of the codon. This triplet is called the anti-codon
What is the number of codons that exist?
In DNA there are four different ones; Adenine, Cytosene, Guanine, and Thymine. In RNA, everything is the same except that instead of hymine, there is Uracil.
What codon code is for amino acid (Lys)?
The amino acid lysine (Lys) is encoded by three codons: AAA and AAG. These codons are found in the messenger RNA (mRNA) and are recognized by transfer RNA (tRNA) during protein synthesis.
What is the sequence of 3 RNA bases called?
Among many things an RNA primer for DNA replication.
