What else can I help you with?
What amino acid does rna sequence AAA specify?
No amino acid is coded for. It is a stop codon that instructs to stop the process of translation.
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
A point mutation that changes a codon specifying an amino acid into a stop codon is called a?
nonsense mutation
What is the amino acid to uua?
It does not code for any amino acid, but it codes for the stop codon. My credibility: I am a Geneticist!
What are the amino acids on the codon table?
Each codon codes for only one amino acid, or a codon is a start or stop codon, but no codon codes for more than one amino acid.
Each codon calls for a specific?
amino acid
What amino acid does rna sequence AAA specify?

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 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.
For any codon there can only be one?
There is only one corresponding amino acid for each codon. Each codon codes specifically for one amino acid (however, an amino acid can be coded for by several different codons). For example: CAU codes for Histamine (and not any other amino acid) But, CAC also codes for Histamine.
What does each single codon stand for or code for protein production to stop?
Each single codon codes for an amino acid in a protein sequence or signals the end of protein synthesis. The three stop codons (UAA, UAG, UGA) signal the termination of translation and protein production.
A polypeptide found in the cytoplasm of a cell contains 12 amino acids How many nucleotides would be required in the mRNA for this polypeptide to be translated?
Since each amino acid is coded for by a specific triplet of nucleotides (codon), and there is a start codon and a stop codon, we need 15 nucleotides in the mRNA (3 nucleotides for each amino acid + 3 for start codon + 3 for stop codon).
Is tryptophan the starting codon for mRNA?
No, tryptophan is an amino acid, not a codon. The start codon is AUG, which codes for the amino acid methionine.
How many amino acids make a codon?
Amino acids do not make a codon. Amino acids are what's connected by codons during translation. Three nucleotides on the mRNA are considered to be a codon, while the three nucleotides on the tRNA are called anticodons.
