What is the DNA sequence that represents the start codon?

The start codon is represented by the DNA sequence "ATG," which corresponds to the mRNA codon "AUG." This sequence signals the beginning of protein synthesis and codes for the amino acid methionine. In the genetic code, the presence of this start codon is essential for initiating translation in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms.

What is the DNA sequence responsible for mRNA codon?

The DNA sequence responsible for an mRNA codon is found in the coding region of a gene, specifically in the form of triplet base pairs. During transcription, RNA polymerase synthesizes mRNA by complementary pairing with the DNA template strand, where each group of three nucleotides (codon) in the mRNA corresponds to a specific amino acid or stop signal in protein synthesis. For example, if the DNA sequence is A-T-G, the corresponding mRNA codon would be U-A-C. Thus, the sequence of nucleotides in DNA directly determines the sequence of codons in mRNA.


What tRNA molecule will match the mRNA codon produced from the following DNA code?

To determine the matching tRNA molecule for an mRNA codon derived from a given DNA sequence, first, transcribe the DNA to mRNA by replacing thymine (T) with uracil (U). Then, identify the corresponding codon from the mRNA. Each codon consists of three nucleotides, and the tRNA anticodon will be complementary to this codon. If you provide the specific DNA sequence, I can help you find the exact tRNA molecule.


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 can the amino acid codon wheel be used to determine the specific amino acid sequence in a given DNA sequence?

The amino acid codon wheel can be used to determine the specific amino acid sequence in a given DNA sequence by matching the DNA codons with their corresponding amino acids on the wheel. Each set of three DNA nucleotides (codon) codes for a specific amino acid, and by using the codon wheel, one can easily identify the amino acid sequence encoded by the DNA.

What determines how many amino acids is in a polypeptide?

When a gene is transcribed there is a sequence of RNA bases that was copied from the DNA sequence. The RNA sequence can be exactly the same as the DNA or can be modified more in higher organisms by removing the introns if any. Three RNA bases is a codon. Each codon signifies an amino acid. There is an initiation codon and a terminal codon. So the amino acid sequence is determined by the sequence (multiple of 3 RNA bases) of codons between the initiation codon and termination codon.

Can you explain how to interpret a DNA to protein chart?

To interpret a DNA to protein chart, start by identifying the DNA sequence in groups of three nucleotides called codons. Each codon corresponds to a specific amino acid. Use a genetic code chart to match each codon to its corresponding amino acid. Then, read the amino acids in order to determine the sequence of the protein that the DNA codes for.
