Codons are a series of three of the 4 nucelotides (bases) that call for the creation of one of 20 amino acids...or start or stop protein synthesis. Some amino acids have only one codon others have several.

A C T G (U in RNA)

ATC starts protein synthesis for example

What is the shortest gene?

The shortest gene is theoretically a single codon gene which codes for a single amino acid. This gene would consist of a start codon (AUG) and a stop codon (UAA, UAG, or UGA).


Given a chunk of DNA sequences how do you find out if it contains a gene?

In order to find a gene jsut look for a start codon near a promoter and then look for a stop codon in the sequence everything between the start and the stop codon is a gene


What is first located on a gene?

A promoter <--- Gradpoint/NovaNet A promoter is located at the beginning of a gene. A promoter functions by facilitating transcription of that gene

What area of the gene is asection of DNA that carries the code used to make a protein?

The correct answer is Exon. This would be a gene. It is in charge of carrying information for the DNA and will have the codes for protein as well.


Gene mutation in which only 1 condon is affected?

A point mutation, specifically a substitution mutation, is when only one nucleotide base is altered in a gene sequence, affecting one codon. This can result in a change in the amino acid encoded by that codon in the mRNA, impacting the protein produced by the gene.

Difference between the gene and codon?

Codon is the group of nucleotides. while nucleotides is madeup of a ribose sugar , phosphate group and the a molecule of nitrogenous base.


Section of DNA within a gene that do not encode part of the protein that the gene produces are called?

Introns (the stuff between the exons), and UTR (Untranslated region, the stuff before the start codon, and after the stop codon).
