That isn't exactly a mutation; it's more like degradation. It would basically mean that mRNA, which is made up of multiple codons, will deteriorate into a codon, which is only 3 nucleic acids combined together. Such corrosion would probably result in the cell breaking the codon like how it normally does mRNA, or it will be absorbed into the nucleus to be combined to form a normal mRNA.

What is a sequence of three nitogenous bases in a messenger-RNA molecule called?

A sequence of three nitrogenous bases in an mRNA molecule is called a codon. Each codon codes for a specific amino acid during protein synthesis.


What would happen if the DNA sequence that coded for Cys was mutated in the third position from a U to an A?

This mutation would change the codon from UGU (coding for Cys) to UGA, which is a stop codon. As a result, translation would be terminated prematurely, leading to a truncated protein. This could disrupt the normal function of the protein or render it nonfunctional.


What molecule contain anticodons?

The tRNA gene sequence is the anti-codon while mRNA is the codon sequence.


What is the initiator codon in most molecule of mRNA?

AUG


What would happen if the stop codon was mutated to encode for another amino acid, disrupting the normal termination of protein synthesis?

If the stop codon is mutated to encode for another amino acid, it would result in the incorporation of that amino acid into the protein being synthesized, leading to a longer and potentially non-functional protein. This disruption of the normal termination of protein synthesis could affect the structure and function of the protein, potentially causing cellular dysfunction or disease.


An anti-codon is part of a molecule of?

Transfer RNA. tRNA.


What tRNA molecule will match the mRNA codon produced from the following DNA code?

To determine the matching tRNA molecule for an mRNA codon derived from a given DNA sequence, first, transcribe the DNA to mRNA by replacing thymine (T) with uracil (U). Then, identify the corresponding codon from the mRNA. Each codon consists of three nucleotides, and the tRNA anticodon will be complementary to this codon. If you provide the specific DNA sequence, I can help you find the exact tRNA molecule.


What are the bases on the mRNA strands are called?

A 3-base sequence of nitrogen bases on a molecule of mRNA is called a codon.


If the sequence ATG codon in a specific firefly should become ATA after a mutation will the firefly be able to emit light?

If the ATG codon is mutated to an ATA codon, the firefly may still be able to emit light. If the amino acid it codes for stays the same, the fly will emit light.


What is the sequence of three nucleotides in a DNA molecule called?

A sequence of three nucleotides in a DNA molecule is called a codon. Each codon codes for a specific amino acid or a signaling function in protein synthesis.


What step happens in translation?

The ribosome reaches the start codon.


Where do you find anticodon?

The anti-codon is the molecule of mRNA in the nucleus which copies the codon from DNA in reverse. This process is reversed again when tRNA copies the mRNA in reverse, thereby restoring the original codon sequence.
