When two amino acids are linked with a peptide bond it is called a dipeptide, when the third amino acid come and joins them it will be then a tripeptide.

When is the new Amino acid added to the polypeptide chain?

The new amino acid is added to the polypeptide chain during the elongation phase of translation. This occurs when the ribosome reads the mRNA codon and brings in the corresponding tRNA with the attached amino acid. The amino acid is then added to the growing polypeptide chain through peptide bond formation.


What is the rule of trna during translation?

The tRNA functions as a sort of taxi service for amino acids. Transfer RNA attaches to a specific amino acid in the cytoplasm and takes it to the ribosome, where it will pair its anticodon with the corresponding mRNA codon, and the amino acid on the tRNA molecule is added to the protein being produced. The tRNA then releases the amino acid and is free to pick up another of the same kind of amino acid, and take it to the ribosome.


Why anthranilic acid is not a amino acid?

Anthranilic acid is not an amino acid because it lacks an amino group (-NH2) within its molecular structure, which is a defining feature of amino acids. Despite its name containing "acid," anthranilic acid is actually a precursor to various amino acids but is not classified as an amino acid itself.


What do you use to find amino acid name codon or anticodon?

To find the amino acid name, you use the codon, which is a three-nucleotide sequence in mRNA that corresponds to a specific amino acid. The codon is read by the ribosome during translation. The anticodon, on the other hand, is a complementary three-nucleotide sequence found on tRNA that pairs with the codon to ensure the correct amino acid is added to the growing polypeptide chain. Thus, you primarily refer to the codon to identify the amino acid.


What would the amino acid be if A is added after the first codon?

To determine the amino acid resulting from adding an A after the first codon, we first need to know the original codon sequence. Codons are sequences of three nucleotides that correspond to specific amino acids. If you provide the original first codon, I can help you identify the new codon and the corresponding amino acid after the addition of A.

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 is the type of amino acid during transcription that is added to the growing poly potide dependson is?

codon on the mrna and the anticodon trna to which the amino acid is attached


The DNA base sequence GGG codes for the amino acid proline. Could this same base sequence code for a different amino acid Why or why not?

Yes because once an amino acid is added to the protein chain, the transfer RNA is released into the cytoplasm and can pick up another amino acid.


What gets taken out when a dipetide forms?

When two amino acids combine to form a dipeptide, the small molecule eliminated is water, hence the name condensation reaction. However, you can also make dipeptides from amino acid derivatives such as acyl chlorides, in which case the molecule eliminated is different (hydrogen chloride in the case of an acyl chloride.

What are three nucleotides that specify a single amino acid to be added to a polypeptide?

CONDON


During translation the type of amino acid that is added to the growing polypeptide depends on what?

D. codon on the mRNA and the anticodon on the tRNA to which the amino acid is attached. __________ On my packet it says answer C. Codon on the mRNA and the anticodon on the tRNA but it's all the same thing XD

What general name is given to the part of the amino acid in the variable?

The general name for the part of an amino acid that varies among different amino acids is the "side chain" or "R-group". This part of the amino acid structure is responsible for determining the unique chemical properties of each amino acid.


Adds the correct amino acid to the growing protein chain?

tRNA (transfer RNA) attaches to the mRNA by the codon and anticodon.Each tRNA carries an amino acid that corresponds to the codon on the mRNA. This is how the correct amino acid is added to the chain.
