What else can I help you with?
The genetic code is degenerate?
Each amino acid can be specified by more than one codon.
What is the genetic code read in?
Three-base triplets called codons. Each codon will be translated into an amino acid during the process of translation.
The genetic code is universal but what does this mean?
this means that the same genetic code that is used in humans is used in all other types of organisms as well. anything from animals to plants to bacteria uses the same system of triplet nucleotide bases (codons) to code for a single amino acid when building a polypeptide. remember that the genetic code is also degenerate- each codon only codes for one amino acid, but there can be several different codons that call for the same amino acid.
What about the degenracy of genetic code?
Type your answer here... the degenracy of code means there are more than one codons for one amino acid.The opposite of it ie.non-degeneracy of codon means ther is only one codon for one amino acid.
How many symbols are in the genetic code?
there are 64 codon for diffrent amino acids in human being and three amino acid codon for a specific amino acid eg AUG stand for methionin amino acids ADENINE URACIL GUANIN
The genetic code is nearly universal in that?
The genetic code is said to be universal because a codon represents the same amino acids in almost all organisms. There are more than one codon for the same amino acid.
Explain the evolutionary significance of a nearly universal genetic code?
It is considered universal because all organisms use the same codon for the same amino acid.
The set of three nitrogen bases tha represents an amino acid?
A codon consisting of three nitrogen bases in mRNA represents an amino acid in a protein sequence through the genetic code. Each specific codon corresponds to a unique amino acid, allowing for the translation of the genetic information into the protein structure.
Why is AUG called the start codon in genetic coding?
The codon AUG is called the start codon in genetic coding because it signals the beginning of protein synthesis in a gene. It initiates the process of translating the genetic information into a protein.
What does uuu mean?
Its a codon (like the genetic version of a byte), Im not sure what U represents tho!!!
Is ATG a start codon in genetic coding?
No, ATG is not a start codon in genetic coding. The start codon is typically AUG.
Why is AUG the start codon in genetic translation?
The AUG codon serves as the start codon in genetic translation because it codes for the amino acid methionine, which is essential for initiating protein synthesis. This codon signals the ribosome to begin translating the mRNA sequence into a protein.
Why is genetic information present in the form of triplet codon?
because it is easy
What is the definition of an codon?
A codon is a unit of genetic code
Is "AUG" a start codon in genetic coding?
Yes, "AUG" is a start codon in genetic coding.
Is AUG the start codon in genetic translation?
Yes, AUG is the start codon in genetic translation.
How many different codon combinations are there in the genetic code?
There are 64 different codon combinations in the genetic code.
