When looking at the chart, the first letter in the codon is located on the left hand side of the chart. The second letter is at the top of the chart. Find when these two letter intersect. Then look at the third letter. It is found on the right hand side of the chart, in the box where one and two intersect. That should give you the name of the amino acid that is made when that codon is read during protein synthesis

When the DNA code is read?
When the DNA code is read, the genetic information stored in the DNA is transcribed into mRNA in a process called transcription. The mRNA is then translated into proteins by ribosomes in a process called translation. This allows the cell to synthesize the specific proteins needed for various cellular functions.
Does 10 codons result in 30 amino acids?
No, 10 codons do not result in 30 amino acids. Each codon corresponds to a single amino acid, so 10 codons would result in 10 amino acids. The genetic code is read in triplets, where each codon is made up of three nucleotides, but the number of amino acids produced is equal to the number of codons.
How do you read codons?
Codons are read in sequences of three nucleotides in messenger RNA (mRNA). Each codon corresponds to a specific amino acid or a stop signal during protein synthesis. The reading begins at the start codon (AUG) and continues until a stop codon (UAA, UAG, or UGA) is reached. This process occurs in ribosomes during translation, where transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules bring the appropriate amino acids to the growing polypeptide chain based on the codon sequence.
What do you use to find amino acid name codon or anticodon?
To find the amino acid name, you use the codon, which is a three-nucleotide sequence in mRNA that corresponds to a specific amino acid. The codon is read by the ribosome during translation. The anticodon, on the other hand, is a complementary three-nucleotide sequence found on tRNA that pairs with the codon to ensure the correct amino acid is added to the growing polypeptide chain. Thus, you primarily refer to the codon to identify the amino acid.
A T C G G A what would the complimentary mRNA strand read?
The Rna triplet codon GUA, Thymine being replaced by Uracil in all Rna's.
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.
What is the name of the process where RNA codon is read and the tRNA anti-codon brings amino acids to the codon?
Transcription
How many DNA bases are read at a time?
In protein synthesis, three DNA bases, known as a codon, are read at a time by the ribosome. Each codon corresponds to a specific amino acid in the process of translating the genetic information into a protein.
When the DNA code is read?
When the DNA code is read, the genetic information stored in the DNA is transcribed into mRNA in a process called transcription. The mRNA is then translated into proteins by ribosomes in a process called translation. This allows the cell to synthesize the specific proteins needed for various cellular functions.
Where does the amino acid table use the code from?
I'm unsure what your question means, but if I interpreted correctly, the codes on the amino acid table are codons. So they are the codes that would be found on the mRNA. If you are looking up an amino acid on the table, just use the one it says under the codon you want to translate. For example, if the codon is AUG, the amino acid is just methionine. No need to do anything more.
What is the third codon in the mrna you produce in?
What the third codon is differs depending on the type of mRNA used for translation. The one thing that all translations have in common is that they all start with methionine (AUG), the start codon, and end with one of several stop codons. Everything in between is determined by the mRNA.
What is a codon chart?
The genetic code is a series of three bases in a row called a codon. Each codon represents and amino acid. For example, the DNA strand AAA-TCT would code for the amino acids lys-ser. You'll need a codon chart to find codons, which can be found online. Hope this helps ! [=

amino acid
When a cell needs a particular protein synthesized messenger RNA is produced from DNA through transcription how is genetic information read from mRNA?
mRNA is translated into protein by the ribosome, which reads the mRNA 5' --> 3'. The mRNA contains the 'genetic code', which consists of triplet codons that are complementary to the anticodon loop of various tRNAs that have amino acids attached. mRNA is threaded through the ribosome, the tRNA matching a given codon comes in and pairs with that codon, the amino acid contained on that codon is added to the polypeptide chain. This continues until a codon is reached for which there is no amino acid. In this case, the ribosome will fall off the mRNA and the polypeptide chain will be released, as a complete protein.
Use the mRNA sequence aug-gga-aau-cgg-uca to determine the resulting amino acid sequence?
AUG: Methionine (start codon for transcription) AAU: Asparagine GGC: Glycine UCG: Serine AUC: Isoleucine UGA: Stop codon (this does not encode for an amino acid)
How is mRNA read by the cellular machinery during protein synthesis?
mRNA is read by the cellular machinery during protein synthesis through a process called translation. Ribosomes attach to the mRNA and move along it, reading the genetic code in groups of three nucleotides called codons. Each codon corresponds to a specific amino acid, which is added to the growing protein chain. This process continues until a stop codon is reached, signaling the end of protein synthesis.
WHAT HAPPEN IF YOU CHANGE A SINGLE BASE CODON?
If one base in a codon was changed, this would be a point mutation. This may not cause any change in the structure of the protein, or it could be severely damaging. Since most amino acids have more than one codon, it's possible that the mutation would result in one of the other codons for that amino acid. In that case, there would be no change in the sequence of amino acids, and no change in the structure or function of the protein. A point mutation might also result in a codon that codes for a totally different amino acid, which can cause a genetic disorder. One example of a genetic disorder caused by a point mutation is sickle cell anemia. It's also possible that the point mutation could cause the codon to code for a stop signal.
