UAG in RNA is amber. In RNA it is a stop codon which is a nucleotide triplet within messenger RNA that signals a termination of translation.

Does every codon represent an amino acid?
No, not every codon represents an amino acid. There are several codons known as "stop" codons (UGA, UAA, UAG) that do not code for an amino acid; instead they code for the termination of translation.
What condons do not code for amino acids?
UAA UGA UAG They are stop codons and do not code for any amino acids.
What amino acid is technically not an amino acid?
proline is not an amino acid it is an imino acid
Each codon calls for a specific?
amino acid
Is phosphoric acid an amino acid?
Nope. To my knowledge there are only two acidic amino acids: Aspartic acid and glutamic acid.
What protein sequence is coded by the code UAG?
The sequence UAG is the mRNA codon that means "stop" and does not code for an amino acid.
What does the amino acid TAG stand for?
UAG, UAA, UGA are all stop codons which doesnt code for any amino acid.
What amino acid is coded for by the codon AUC?
The anticodon would be UAG, and the amino acid coded for is isoleucine.
Do stop codon have an amino acid?
A stop codon (UGA, UAA, UAG) only codes for a stop. No amino acid results from a stop codon.
Does every codon represent an amino acid?
No, not every codon represents an amino acid. There are several codons known as "stop" codons (UGA, UAA, UAG) that do not code for an amino acid; instead they code for the termination of translation.
What are the punctuation codons?
Punctuation codons are the three stop codons in the genetic code: UAA, UAG, and UGA. These codons signal the termination of translation during protein synthesis.
What amino acid is encoded by the initiation codon AUG?
The amino acid that is encoded by the initiation codon AUG is methionine. It is the only amino acid which is specified by just one codon.
What condons do not code for amino acids?
UAA UGA UAG They are stop codons and do not code for any amino acids.
What is the number of codons that actually specify amino acids is?
61. there are 64 total codon arrangements. However three of those (UAA, UAG, UGA) are STOP codons and in turn do not call for the tRNA to bind a protein. Rather, these 3 codons call for termination of translation. The START condon in RNA is UAG, with calls for the amino acid (Met'). It is important to remember that even though there are 61 codons that call for amino acids, only 20 amino acids are available. This means that more than one codon can call for the same amino acid which brings about the REDUNDANT characteristic of codons. However they are NOT AMBIGUOUS, meaning that a codon cannot call for several different amino acids. Serveral codons can call for the same amino acid, but each codon can only call for ONE specific amino acid.
What is the function of a stop condon?
The stop codons (UAA, UAG, UGA) stop the transcription process in forming an amino acid chain and therefore a protein. It signals the end of the chain.
What 3 codons do not carry amino acids?
There are three codons that do not code for any amino acids: the stop codons. These are TAG, TAA, and TGA (in DNA, not RNA).
What would be the first three amino acids in the protein formed from this gene uagcgagg?
Each amino acid is coded for by a 3-base sequence known as a codon. Therefore you would need 9 bases to code for 3 amino acids.The sequence UAG-CGA-GG would not add three amino acids to a protein.For the sequence UAG-CGA-GG:UAG is a STOP codon - translation would cease at this point and no further amino acids would be added.CGA codes for Arginine.GG does not code for an amino acid - it would need one more base to be a codon. GGU, GGA, GGG and GGC all code for Glycine.
