A codon is the triplet sequence in the messenger RNA (mRNA) transcript which specifies a corresponding amino acid (or a start or stop command). An anticodon is the corresponding triplet sequence on the transfer RNA (tRNA) which brings in the specific amino acid to the ribosome during translation. The anticodon is complementary to the codon, that is, if the codon is AUU, then the anticodon is UAA. There are no T (Thymine) nitrogen bases in mRNA. It's replaced by U (Uracil).
What else can I help you with?
Where does the lining up of a codon and anticodon take place?
The mRNA codon and tRNA anticodon pair up on the ribosome.
What is the codon for methionine is AUG what is its anticodon?
The anticodon for methionine is UAC. It pairs with the methionine codon AUG during protein synthesis.
How many bases are in an anti-codon?
3 bases make up an anti-codon, 3 bases also make up a codon
What has an anticodon to bind to the protein synthesizing machinery?
The anticodon on a tRNA molecule binds to a complementary codon on the mRNA during translation. This binding ensures that the correct amino acid is added to the growing polypeptide chain. The interaction between the anticodon and codon is essential for accurate protein synthesis.
What is the difference between a codon from an anticodon and explain the significance of each?
A codon is the triplet sequence in messenger RNA (mRNA) that specifies an amino acid or a start or stop command. Its complementary sequence in transfer RNA (tRNA) is called the anticodon.
Why is the anticodon AGA complementary to the codon UCU?
The only base-pairs that are possible are: Adenine - Uracil (for RNA, since the question refers to codon and anticodon) Guanine - Cytosine The reason for this particular base pairing is that it is the only possible combination for the hydrogen bonds between the bases to be effectively made.
What anticodon pairs with the codon gau?
The anticodon that pairs with the codon GAU is CUA. This is based on the rules of complementary base pairing in DNA and RNA.
Where does the lining up of a codon and anticodon take place?
The mRNA codon and tRNA anticodon pair up on the ribosome.
Complementary nucleotides to a codon?
Anticodon
The three bases on the tRNA molecule that are complementary to one of the mRNA codons are called the?
putos - what in the hell is putos? it sounds NASTY
What is the codon for methionine is AUG what is its anticodon?
The anticodon for methionine is UAC. It pairs with the methionine codon AUG during protein synthesis.
How many bases are in an anti-codon?
3 bases make up an anti-codon, 3 bases also make up a codon
What two types of molecules are involved when the codon pairs with its anticodon?
The two types of molecules involved when the codon pairs with its anticodon are messenger RNA (mRNA) and transfer RNA (tRNA). The mRNA carries the codon sequence, while the tRNA carries the anticodon sequence that base-pairs with the codon during translation.
How many nitrogenous bases are found in a anticodon?
3. The opposite three that are located on the codon of an mRNA strand.eg.If mRNA reads CAG UCG AGU Three codonsThen tRNA GUC AGC UCA Three Antiocodons each containing three nitrogenous bases.
What has an anticodon to bind to the protein synthesizing machinery?
The anticodon on a tRNA molecule binds to a complementary codon on the mRNA during translation. This binding ensures that the correct amino acid is added to the growing polypeptide chain. The interaction between the anticodon and codon is essential for accurate protein synthesis.
What is the relationship between codons and anticodons?
A codon is found in the DNA sequence and in the mRNA sequence. The anticodon is the opposite sequence that would match with the sequence of the codon and allows pairing of the anticodon with the codon
What is the difference between a codon from an anticodon and explain the significance of each?
A codon is the triplet sequence in messenger RNA (mRNA) that specifies an amino acid or a start or stop command. Its complementary sequence in transfer RNA (tRNA) is called the anticodon.
