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.


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.

What is the maximum number of amino acids that could be coded for by a sextion of mrna with the sequence guucagaacugu?

A codon is three bases long - so this section of mRNA would have 4 codons; UGA-UUC-AGU-AAC.Each codon relates to a specific amino acid (but several codons can code for the same amino acid, for example both UUU and UUC code for the amino acid Phenylalanine).Normally if you have four codons, such as this section of mRNA, the maximum number of amino acids you could have would be four. However, the first codon in this section, UGA, is actually a STOP codon. This means that when the ribosome reaches this codon, no further amino acids will be joined.This means that no amino acids could be coded for with this section of mRNA. (If the order of the codons was reversed, making the STOP codon last, then the answer would be three).


Genetic language used to translate mRNA transcripts into proteins?

The genetic language used to translate mRNA transcripts into proteins involves the sequence of nucleotides (triplets called codons) on the mRNA being read by ribosomes. Each codon corresponds to a specific amino acid or instruction to start or stop protein synthesis. Transfer RNA molecules bring the corresponding amino acids to the ribosome, allowing the protein to be built according to the mRNA sequence.

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.

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 ! [=

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.
