If this codon is a result of a mutation, the polypeptide will be prematurely terminated. The protein will be either non-functional and the organism will do without it, or the protein will become harmful to the organism.

Do stop codon have an amino acid?

A stop codon (UGA, UAA, UAG) only codes for a stop. No amino acid results from a stop codon.


What amino acid does rna sequence AAA specify?

No amino acid is coded for. It is a stop codon that instructs to stop the process of translation.

Does every codon represent an amino acid?

No, not every codon represents an amino acid. There are several codons known as "stop" codons (UGA, UAA, UAG) that do not code for an amino acid; instead they code for the termination of translation.


What meaning do the first and last codons have for protein synthesis?

Codons are used for making amino acids. Some codons will tell the ribosomes to start tell the tRNA to make the amino acids or to stop making amino acids. I like to think of the start/initiator/promoter codon(AUG) as a capital letter in a sentence and the stop/terminator codons(UAA, UAG, and UGA) as periods in a sentence.


What condons do not code for amino acids?

Stop codons (also known as nonsense codons) do not code for amino acids. These include UAG, UAA, and UGA. When a stop codon is encountered during translation, it signals the termination of protein synthesis.


What halts translation in biology?

There are several different possibilities. The stop codon will halt translation normally. Insufficient free amino acids will stop translation (hardly ever happens in nature). Various toxins target ribosomes and translation machinery (ex. ricin).
