What else can I help you with?
Are amino acid that are represented by one codon?
yes, but there are amino acids can be represented by many 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.
What is codon and sense codon?
A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides in DNA or RNA that codes for a specific amino acid. A sense codon is a codon that specifies one of the 20 standard amino acids in protein synthesis.
How many amino acids does each condon code for?
No they are not. For a codon, there are 4^3 = 64 codon combinations, but only 20 [common] amino acids. The 4 represents the 4 nitrogenous bases, and the ^3 represents the arrangement into a codon (3 bp). An example of an amino acid that is specified by more than one amino acid is Alanine, which is specified by any of the following combinations: GUU, GUC, GUA, GUG. Because most amino acids have more than one codon, the genetic code is called "degenerate".
Which amino acid was never coded for?
Several amino acids are not coded for in biology. 20 are. The two standard amino acids are selenocysteine and pyrrolysine. Then there are the numerous non-standard amino acids, which include hydroxyproline and selenomethionine.
How many amino acids does a codon contain?
A codon contains three amino acids. Each codon in mRNA corresponds to a specific amino acid in a protein sequence.
Are amino acid that are represented by one codon?
yes, but there are amino acids can be represented by many 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.
There can only be one what for every codon?
There can only be one amino acid for every codon. Tryptophan and Methionine are the types of amino acids that correspond to codon.
What are the differences between codon anticodon?
Codons are three bases on mRNA which go to the ribosome which translates into amino acids. The amino acids are attached to tRNA which has the anticodon on it which will bind to the codon on the mRNA. This is how the ribosome picks out the correct amino acid. the tRNA with the anti codon just binds to the codon and the amino acids start binding together via peptide bonds.
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.
What is the name of the process where RNA codon is read and the tRNA anti-codon brings amino acids to the codon?
Transcription
What is codon and sense codon?
A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides in DNA or RNA that codes for a specific amino acid. A sense codon is a codon that specifies one of the 20 standard amino acids in protein synthesis.
What is the difference between codon and amino acids?
a hairy vjj
What is the first amino acids?
Methionine, made from the codon AUG.
Are amino acids only represented by one codon?
No. Amino acids are not always represented by only one codon. Several may code for one amino acid.
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.
