No. It's the RNA nucleotides that code for the DNA.

The tRNA then in turn codes for a specific protein.

So, for example, if the DNA sequence is TAG, the tRNA is AUC. (Uracil replacing thyamine in RNA)

What are the best nucleotide triplets that best represent a codon?

The best nucleotide triplets that represent a codon are Adenosine, Cytosine, Guanine, and Uracil (A, C, G, and U). These nucleotides form RNA molecules, which are used during protein synthesis to encode the sequence of amino acids in a protein. Each triplet of nucleotides, or codon, corresponds to a specific amino acid or a signal to start or stop protein synthesis.


What is a triplet of nucleotides that is the code for one amino acid?

I don't understand your question. mRNA does not have triplets. Did you mean codon? Triplet refers to DNA, codon to mRNA.


What is non sense codon?

A nonsense codon, also known as a stop codon, is a three-nucleotide sequence in mRNA that signals the termination of translation. When a ribosome encounters a stop codon, protein synthesis stops, and the incomplete polypeptide chain is released. There are three stop codons: UAG, UAA, and UGA.

What amino acid is coded for by this sequence before the mutation?

The amino acid coded for by the original sequence can be determined based on the codon table. The sequence is comprised of sets of three nucleotides that correspond to specific amino acids, so you would need to convert the sequence into codons and then use the table to identify the amino acid coded for by those codons.


What amino acid is coded for by this sequence before mutation?

The neutral mutation does not change the amino acid coded for by the codon. A good example is the RNA codon that could be the CCA, CCC or the CCG.

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).


What is the term for a 3-nucleotide sequence on mRNA that codes for an amino acid?

If a protein is 3300 amino acids long how many nucleotides pairs long is the gene sequence that codes for this protein?

Since each amino acid is coded for by a combination of three nucleotide bases (a codon), the number of nucleotides in the gene sequence would be 3300 * 3 = 9900 nucleotide base pairs long.
