A nucleotide of DNA contains a deoxyribose sugar molecule, a phosphate group, and one of four nitrogen bases: adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine. A nucleotide is usually represented by its nitrogen base.
Triplets of nucleotides in DNA are called codons, which are transcribed into mRNA (in Eukaryotes) and then each codon (from the mRNA in Eukaryotes) is translated into a particular protein.
A codon
The DNA triplet "GAG" encodes for Glutamic Acid.
No, DNA is not an amino acid. DNA is a nucleic acid composed of two chains of nucleotides. The sequence of nucleotides encodes for amino acids (almost every triplet of nucleotides encodes for some amino acid). The amino acids in turn build proteins. Please see the related link for more information.
DNA polymerase 1,2,3 are enzymes involved in adding nucleotides during replication
complementary nucleotides
DNA
I don't understand your question. mRNA does not have triplets. Did you mean codon? Triplet refers to DNA, codon to mRNA.
Because for the purpose of translation into aminoacids, each codon is three nucleotides long. In other words peptides which are the building blocks of proteins get made by translating three nucleotides at a time.
The body collects, processes and stores information in its DNA. DNA encodes information as a series of nucleotides. Nucleotides have 4 different bases. Nucleotides are grouped in threes and this is referred to as a Base Triplet Code. Each BTC will determine which amino acid is added to a protein molecule that is being synthesized.
Absolutely Yes, Life Depends Upon It. Nucleotides grouped in 3's are called ' triplet codons '. The four nucleotides, ATC&G, read as triplet codons, determine the order of amino-acids that are sequentially added to a nascent (growing) protein chain. See Proteins and Dna.
Nucleotides do not have DNA or RNA. DNA and RNA are composed of nucleotides.
The DNA triplet "GAG" encodes for Glutamic Acid.
Although DNA is composed of the same four nucleotides in all organisms, the sequence of nucleotides is different for each species
No, DNA is not an amino acid. DNA is a nucleic acid composed of two chains of nucleotides. The sequence of nucleotides encodes for amino acids (almost every triplet of nucleotides encodes for some amino acid). The amino acids in turn build proteins. Please see the related link for more information.
They connect to each other in DNA.
DNA polymerase 1,2,3 are enzymes involved in adding nucleotides during replication
the reason is that each living thing has a different order of nucleotides in its DNA
A DNA molecule is composed of long chains of DNA nucleotides.
