What else can I help you with?
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.
What is the name for a series of 3 nucleic acid bases contained on mRNA?
The name of a series of 3 nucleic acids bases on the tRNA is called anticodon. The name for a series of 3 nucleic acid bases contained on mRNA is called codon.
Which amino acids have only one codon?
There are two different amino acids that only have one codon. Methionine thatâ??s DNA codon is ATG and Tryptophan thatâ??s DNA codon is TGG.
How many codons are incolved ina polypeoptide that has 5 amino acids?
Simple answer FIVE. Each codon is made up of links. There are three links to the codon. Each codon codes for a single amino acid. A polypeptide is a string of amino acids. The term is usually used for smaller polypeptide chains. Larger chains are usually referred to as proteins although not all proteins are simply polypeptides. Heomoglobin, for example, contains a heme group.
Which amino acid is represented by the codon UUU?
The amino acid Proline. In the Codon Dictionary, Proline is the best example of a "wobble base". Each codon that begins with CC- [CCU, CCC, CCA, & CCG] codes for Proline.
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 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.
How many amino acids does a codon contain?
A codon contains three amino acids. Each codon in mRNA corresponds to a specific amino acid in a protein sequence.
What is each nucleotide triplet in mrna that specifies a specific amino acid called?
im pretty sure its a codon
What information is carried on a codon?
It carries the instructions from DNA out into the cytoplasm.
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.
A unit messenger RNA consisting of a set of three consecutive nucleotides is?
called a codon. Each codon codes for a specific amino acid during the process of protein synthesis.
What is a sequence of three nitogenous bases in a messenger-RNA molecule called?
A sequence of three nitrogenous bases in an mRNA molecule is called a codon. Each codon codes for a specific amino acid during protein synthesis.
What does each codon code for?
Each codon codes for a specific amino acid, which is a building block of proteins. The sequence of codons in mRNA determines the sequence of amino acids in a protein. There are 64 possible codons, with 61 coding for amino acids and 3 serving as stop codons to signal the end of protein synthesis.
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.
What is the term for a 3-nucleotide sequence on mRNA that codes for an amino acid?
the three nucleotides on a mRNA that codes for a amino acid is called a codon
How many bases are needed to specify an mRNA codon?
3 bases are needed to specify an mRNA codon.
