How do you make a 10 codon sequence for a polypeptide?

To create a 10 codon sequence for a polypeptide, you would need to transcribe a DNA sequence into an mRNA sequence. Each codon consists of three nucleotides. Look for the start codon (AUG) to begin the sequence and then continue adding codons until you have 10 in total.


Hi can anyone help me to find the answer for this question.i am doing an exam and i need some help.. thanks which are the 3 stop codons and the start codon for protein translation?

AUG - that is the start codonStop codons are UAG, UAA UGAGood luck!


How many nucleotide bases does it take to specify one amino acid?

i think nine bases are needed for three amino acids because i think it takes three bases to make one amino acid


How many codons are in 1 protein?

The number of codons needed to code for a protein varies depending on the length of the protein. Each amino acid is coded for by a specific sequence of three nucleotides (a codon). Therefore, you would need to divide the total number of nucleotides in the protein's gene sequence by 3 to find the number of codons required.


Is it possible for mutations to go unnoticed in mRNA?

Yes it is. There are more triplet codons than there are [biologically active] amino acids that need to be represented in the Cell, so that there is some duplication of codon/amino acid 'alignment'. This occurs only in the third base position of the triplet codon - the 'wobble base' position - so if a mutation occurred in the wobble (third) position and the codon was one of the few that was not alone in its amino acid specificity this mutation would go unnoticed.

A polypeptide found in the cytoplasm of a cell contains 12 amino acids How many nucleotides would be required in the mRNA for this polypeptide to be translated?

Since each amino acid is coded for by a specific triplet of nucleotides (codon), and there is a start codon and a stop codon, we need 15 nucleotides in the mRNA (3 nucleotides for each amino acid + 3 for start codon + 3 for stop codon).

What would be the first three amino acids in the protein formed from this gene uagcgagg?

Each amino acid is coded for by a 3-base sequence known as a codon. Therefore you would need 9 bases to code for 3 amino acids.The sequence UAG-CGA-GG would not add three amino acids to a protein.For the sequence UAG-CGA-GG:UAG is a STOP codon - translation would cease at this point and no further amino acids would be added.CGA codes for Arginine.GG does not code for an amino acid - it would need one more base to be a codon. GGU, GGA, GGG and GGC all code for Glycine.


Name a codon for the amino acid arginine?

arginine - is an amino acid that plays a role in cell division, healing of wounds, removing ammonia from the body, improving immunity to illness, and hormone secretion. Arginine is used by the body to make nitric oxide, condon -three bases in a DNA or RNA sequence which specify a single amino acid.


Whats does it mean when you need a jump every time to start your car?

Typically when you need to jump start your car every time in order to start it, there is a problem with the battery. It could be that the alternator is not working and is not charging the battery, or it could be that the battery is not holding a charge.


How many codons would be needed to construct a protein that is composed of 45 amino acids?

You would need 135 codons for a protein composed of 45 amino acids. This is because each amino acid is coded for by a sequence of three nucleotides (codon), so you would need three codons for every amino acid.

How do both the codon and the anticodon work together?

A codon is found on the mesenger RNA (mRNA) the anti codon is the exact opposite of a codon. so lets say your codon was G C A your anticodon would be C G U The codon and anti codon work together to help make strands of protein The codon is kind of like the code for what protein you need. transfer RNA (tRNA) collects free RNA nucleotides and brings them to the Ribosome to create an anti codon which brings a certain protein to the ribosome. Do with that information what you will.
