the three nucleotides on a mRNA that codes for a amino acid is called a codon

The RNA sequence CUA codes for the amino acid leucine.
The codon UGU codes for the amino acid Cysteine. The codon UGG codes for the amino acid Tryptophan. Therefore the mutation will cause the amino acid Cysteine to be replaced with Tryptophan. These amino acids are quite different, and the final shape of the protein could be changed as a result. This could affect the function of the protein.
The mRNA sequence CAAGAC codes for the amino acids glutamine (CAA) and aspartic acid (GAC) in that order.
For any one codon, there can be only one amino acid that it codes for. Each codon in the genetic code corresponds to a specific amino acid, ensuring that the correct sequence of amino acids is produced during protein synthesis.

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.
One letter accounts for one nitrogen base, which is part of a codon, which codes for one amino acid.
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.
The gene within a chromosome contains the specific sequence of nucleotides that codes for the amino acid sequence of a protein. This gene is transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA), which is then translated into a specific sequence of amino acids during protein synthesis.
A sequence of three adjacent bases in DNA, called a codon, codes for a single amino acid. There are 64 possible codons, each specifying one of the 20 amino acids or serving as a signal to start or stop protein synthesis.
AGU and UCA both code for the amino acid serine - so do the codons AGC, UCU, UCC and UCG. CCA codes for proline - so do CCU, CCC and CCG. Therefore any codons which do not code for the sequence serine-serine-proline will be different. For example: UUC-GCU-AAU will code for a different amino acid sequence
DNA sequence undergoes transcription, then translation process in order to determine and subsequently produce the amino acid sequence. The four bases specifically A,C,G, & T are the main coding sequence of a DNA. Because each coding sequence is unique, the resulting amino acid sequence is also unique as well.
The codon UGU codes for the amino acid Cysteine. The codon UGG codes for the amino acid Tryptophan. Therefore the mutation will cause the amino acid Cysteine to be replaced with Tryptophan. These amino acids are quite different, and the final shape of the protein could be changed as a result. This could affect the function of the protein.
It is a codon.The word was coined in 1962 by Sydney Brenner for a group of three nucleotides (or their bases) in DNA that code for one amino acid. Since then the word has also been extended to apply to messenger RNA.
That MAY have happened 3.5 billion years ago ... but not today. DNA carries the codes for amino acid sequences. RNA transfers the codes. Ribosomes link the amino acids into proteins. Amino acids don't code for proteins, genes do. The base sequence in the genes codes for how the amino acids should be sequenced to make proteins.
