A codon is made up of a sequence of three nucleotides. In DNA, a nucleotide contains the sugar deoxyribose, a phosphate group, and one of four nitrogen bases; adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine. In RNA, a nucleotide contains the sugar ribose, a phosphate group, and one of four nitrogen bases; adenine, uracil, guanine, and cytosine. Each codon represents an amino acid, or a start or stop signal.
No, a codon is made up of three nucleotides. Each codon encodes for a specific amino acid in the genetic code.
The codon for trytophan is UGG.
The codon typically used as the start codon in protein synthesis is AUG.
There are four bases in a DNA codon: adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G). Each codon is made up of three of these bases, forming the genetic code that determines the amino acid sequence during protein synthesis.
Three nitrogenous bases make up a single codon.
A codon is made up of 3 base pairs.
No, a codon is made up of three nucleotides. Each codon encodes for a specific amino acid in the genetic code.
Codon
Methionine, made from the codon AUG.
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.
The codon for trytophan is UGG.
anti-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.
A codon consists of three base pairs, which encode for a specific amino acid in protein synthesis. Each codon corresponds to a single amino acid or a start/stop signal in the genetic code.
The codon typically used as the start codon in protein synthesis is AUG.
There are four bases in a DNA codon: adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G). Each codon is made up of three of these bases, forming the genetic code that determines the amino acid sequence during protein synthesis.
The start codon. The codon AUG is generally referred as the start codon because the translation of mRNA begins on AUG.
