Best Answer

GAA specifically codes for Glutamine (Glu). Here we have two examples of the WOBBLE BASE.

In short this means that either GA(U or C) will code for asparagine, while either of GA(A or G) is the codon for Glu.

What is the redundancy codon?

Amino acids can be represented by more than one codonex. Although codons GAA & GAG both specify glumatic acid (redundancy), neither of them ever specifies for any other amino acid (no ambiguity)


What are four examples of codons and what are the instructions they encode?

Codon is a group of three bases on a DNA molecule, each determining the identity of one amino acid in proteins made by a cell. An example of a codon is the mRNA sequence of AUG.


What is a degenerate DNA?

its DNA that codes for the same amino acid Ex: GAA and GAC will both code for glutamic acid


What is transcribe sickle cell?

To transcribe and translate the normal and sickle cell DNA you need to do the following: transcribe into RNA normal: ccc gaa gaa aaa sickle: ccc gua gaa aaa Then look in codon table normal Proline Glutamtatic acid Glutamtatic acid Lysine sicke Proline Valine Glutamtatic acid Lysine


A part of an mRNA has the sequence CCG. which change to this sequence would indicate a missense mutation?

CGG GAA


Amino acid sequence for ctg ggc tta aag cgc?

Due to the calculations you make using your genetic code dictionaries, you must go backwards using the third letter of codon and then second and then first. Then, you have your answer for what the amino acid sequence would be for cga gaa guc. Then you just flip cga and guc, keeping gaa in the middle.


How many amino acids are coded for by the sequence on side a of this DNA strand?

It depends on the length of the mRNA. Because one codon codes for one amino acid and there are three bases to a codon, the number of amino acids that are synthesized into a protein can be determined by taking the number of bases on the mRNA and dividing it by three.


How does a person get their gene from GAA to GAU?

Mutation. Anyways the third letter in a codon isn't as important when translating into protein.


Which triplet in DNA codes for glutamate?

GAA and GAG code for Glutamic Acid.


One human disease is causedbya change in codon in a gene from GAA to GUAthis disease is the result of?

Pompe disease is an inherited disorder caused by the buildup of a complex sugar called glycogen in the body's cells. The accumulation of glycogen in certain tissues, especially muscles, impairs their ability to function normally. Mutations in the GAA gene cause Pompe disease. The GAA gene provides instructions for producing an enzyme called acid alpha-glucosidase (commonly called acid maltase). This enzyme is active in lysosomes, which are structures that serve as the cell's recycling center. The enzyme normally breaks down glycogen into a simpler sugar called glucose, which is the main energy source for most cells. Mutations in the GAA gene prevent acid alpha-glucosidase from breaking down glycogen, allowing it to build up in the body's cells. Over time, this buildup damages cells throughout the body, particularly muscle cells. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pompe_disease http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/condition=pompedisease
