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.

What is codon recognition?
Short Answer is: for every triplet codon there is a recognizable anti-triplet codon.
What is the three base sequence in mRNA?
called CODON.
How many bases are in DNA codon?
Yo mama makes up a codon, JK.... The correct answer is that 3 nittrogen bases make up a codon.
The codon GAU is for?
GAU is the codon.
What is the codon for trytophan?
The codon for trytophan is UGG.
How many bases in codon of an amino acid?
A codon is made up of 3 base pairs.
How many base pairs make up a codon?
One codon is made up of three base pairs.
What Substance in DNA is made of three bases?
Codon
What is the first amino acids?
Methionine, made from the codon AUG.
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.
Complementary of a codon?
anti-codon.
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.
