For which specific amino acid does each codon code in the genetic code?

Each codon in the genetic code codes for a specific amino acid. For example, the codon "AUG" codes for the amino acid methionine.


What is the term for the three letter code on mRNA?

The three-letter code on mRNA is called a codon. Each codon corresponds to a specific amino acid during protein synthesis.


Is it true that a codon consists of four nucleotides?

No, a codon is made up of three nucleotides. Each codon encodes for a specific amino acid in the genetic code.


What factor changes the type of protein a gene codes for?

well the gene code itself, each codon (and anti-codon) codes for different proteins


What is the definition of an codon?

A codon is a unit of genetic code


What is the three base sequence in mRNA?

The three base sequence in mRNA is called a codon. Codons code for specific amino acids during protein synthesis. Each codon corresponds to a specific amino acid or a stop signal.


The genetic code is degenerate?

Each amino acid can be specified by more than one codon.


Is "aug" a stop codon in genetic code?

No, "aug" is not a stop codon in the genetic code. It is actually the start codon that signals the beginning of protein synthesis.


How many different codon combinations are there in the genetic code?

There are 64 different codon combinations in the genetic code.


What is a triplet of nucleotides that is the code for one amino acid?

I don't understand your question. mRNA does not have triplets. Did you mean codon? Triplet refers to DNA, codon to mRNA.


How many amino acids make a codon?

One codon specifies a specific amino acid. However, more than one codon can code for the same amino acid. For example, the codon GUU codes for the specific amino acid valine; and the codons GUC, GUA, and GUG also code for valine.


How many letters make up a codon?

A codon is made up of three nucleotides, or three letters (A, C, G, or T) in the genetic code. Each codon codes for a specific amino acid in a protein sequence.
