What else can I help you with?
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.
Can an amino acid be coded for by more sequence of three nucleotides?
Yes, an amino acid can be coded for by more than one sequence of three nucleotides. This is due to the degeneracy of the genetic code, where some amino acids are encoded by multiple codons.
Is it impossible for an amino acid to be specified by more than one codon?
No. On the contrary, most amino acids are specified by more than one codon. Click on the related link to see a table of amino acids and their codons from the Algorithmic Arts website.
How is a genetic code is redundant?
There are 64 codons, that code for only 20 amino acids. This make the genetic code redundant - because different codons can code for the same amino acid.This provides some protection against mistakes - because a replacement of a single base may end up coding for the same amino acid - causing no change to the final protein product.
Does running blast using nucleotides or amino acids yield more specific matches?
Running BLAST using amino acids generally yields more specific matches compared to using nucleotides. This is because protein sequences are shorter and more conserved than nucleotide sequences, allowing for clearer identification of homologous proteins. Additionally, amino acid sequences are less prone to variation than nucleotide sequences, which can have multiple codons for the same amino acid, leading to a higher likelihood of identifying functionally related proteins.
There can be more than one what for the same amino acid?
There can be more than one codon that codes for the same amino acid. This is due to the redundancy of the genetic code, where multiple codons can specify the same amino acid.
Can more than one codon code for the same amino acid in the genetic code?
Yes, multiple codons can code for the same amino acid in the genetic code.
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.
Why are there more codons than amino acids in the genetic code?
There are more codons than amino acids in the genetic code because multiple codons can code for the same amino acid. This redundancy helps protect against errors in the genetic code and allows for greater flexibility in protein synthesis.
All amino acids are specified by only one codon?
No. Some are specified by only one codon eg. methionine and tryptophan. But some have more than one codon eg. threonine.
Can an amino acid be specified by more than one codon?
Yes, each amino acid has several codons that correspond to it. Please see the related link for a chart which shows this. For example, UUU and UUC both code for Phenylalanine. However, if you are asking if a codon can code for more than one amino acid, the answer is no (but there are exceptions). This means that UUU codes for Phenylalanine - not for any other amino acids. Codons are made in sets of three bases to match the anticodons in corresponding sets of three bases.
Can an amino acid be coded for by more sequence of three nucleotides?
Yes, an amino acid can be coded for by more than one sequence of three nucleotides. This is due to the degeneracy of the genetic code, where some amino acids are encoded by multiple codons.
Is it impossible for an amino acid to be specified by more than one codon?
No. On the contrary, most amino acids are specified by more than one codon. Click on the related link to see a table of amino acids and their codons from the Algorithmic Arts website.
How many amino acids make a codon?
One codon specifies a specific amino acid. However, more than one codon can code for the same amino acid. For example, the codon GUU codes for the specific amino acid valine; and the codons GUC, GUA, and GUG also code for valine.
How can only four bases in rna carry intructions for 20 different amino acids?
It takes a set of three RNA bases to code for one amino acid. Since there are 4 different bases in RNA, there are 4 x 4 x 4 = 64 possible combinations. This is many more combinations than is necessary to code for 20 amino acids. The reason that there are more than 20 is that some combinations code for the same amino acid.
The genetic code is degenerate?
Each amino acid can be specified by more than one codon.
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.
