The genetic code is a series of three bases in a row called a codon. Each codon represents and amino acid. For example, the DNA strand AAA-TCT would code for the amino acids lys-ser. You'll need a codon chart to find codons, which can be found online. Hope this helps ! [=

What information can be derived from a codon circle chart?

A codon circle chart provides information about the genetic code, showing which codons correspond to specific amino acids. This can help scientists understand how a specific sequence of DNA will be translated into a protein.


How do you read the circular genetic codon table?

When looking at the chart, the first letter in the codon is located on the left hand side of the chart. The second letter is at the top of the chart. Find when these two letter intersect. Then look at the third letter. It is found on the right hand side of the chart, in the box where one and two intersect. That should give you the name of the amino acid that is made when that codon is read during protein synthesis


What information can be derived from a codon wheel chart?

A codon wheel chart can help determine the amino acid sequence encoded by a specific DNA sequence. It shows which amino acids correspond to different combinations of three nucleotides (codons) in the genetic code.


What information can be obtained from a codon chart wheel?

A codon chart wheel can provide information about the amino acid sequence that corresponds to a specific sequence of three nucleotides in a DNA or RNA molecule. This can help in determining the sequence of amino acids in a protein, as well as identifying start and stop codons in a genetic code.


Can you explain how to interpret a DNA to protein chart?

To interpret a DNA to protein chart, start by identifying the DNA sequence in groups of three nucleotides called codons. Each codon corresponds to a specific amino acid. Use a genetic code chart to match each codon to its corresponding amino acid. Then, read the amino acids in order to determine the sequence of the protein that the DNA codes for.


What is the amino sequence of the protein that was formed?

In order to answer this question, you must, and prpbably do have the codon sequences of the RNA or DNA, and a chart saying what each codon codes for in terms of amino acids. The mRNA from transcription is what the sheet probably has on it, with each codon contained therin signaling a certain amino acid. If you can post the sequence or something like that, then ill sertainly answer it for you.


What is the consequence of changing the codon UGA to UGG?

UGA stands for Threonine. UGG stands for Threonine. Nothing would change. This is none as a silent mutation. Source: AP Biology Student and a DNA-Codon to Amino acid chart ^ actually, according to my chart, UGA is a stop codon and UGG stands for TRYPTOPHAN (not threonine), also UGG is the ONLY codon that codes for tryptophan, so it isn't a silent mutation, either. the correct answer is that the peptide will be longer than normal.


What is the codon for trytophan?

The codon for trytophan is UGG.


Complementary of a codon?

anti-codon.


What is a Complimentary codon?

A complimentary codon is one that pairs with another codon according to the base pairing rule. For example, the DNA codon ATG is complimentary to the mRNA codon UAC.


What codon is typically used as the start codon in protein synthesis?

The codon typically used as the start codon in protein synthesis is AUG.


What name is assigned to augwhich stands for methionine in which all mRNA molecules start?

The start codon. The codon AUG is generally referred as the start codon because the translation of mRNA begins on AUG.
