Describe the difference between a termination signal and a stop codon?

Termination signal is at the end of the part of the chromosome being transcribed during transcription of mRNA. While in a stop codon, also called termination codon, is a nucleotide triplet within messenger RNA that signals a termination of translation.


What name is assigned to augwhich stands for methionine in which all mRNA molecules start?

The start codon. The codon AUG is generally referred as the start codon because the translation of mRNA begins on AUG.


What happens at a start codon?

A start codon signals the start of translation


Each codon calls for a specific?

amino acid


Which process stops when a ribosome reaches a stop codon?

When a ribsome reaches a stop codon, the translation process stops and a protein is released.


What is a ''codon''?

A three-nucleotide sequence in mRNA that specifies a particular amino acid or polypeptide termination signal; basic unit of the genetic code. In translation, an mRNA codon is recognized by its complementary tRNA anti-codon.


What ends translation in DNA?

a stop codon or anti-codon (same thing)


During translation a messenger rna codon is paired with?

A tRNA anticodon pairs with an mRNA codon during translation.


How does the termination of translation occur?

The termination of protein translation is caused by termination codon. Termination happens when a stop codon is reached, there is no amino acid to be incorporated and the entire assembly releases the newly synthesized polypeptide.


Translation is initiated at which codon sequence?

AUG-Methionine


Does translation always begin with a AUG codon?

No, sometimes alternate translation starts at GUG.


How is translation in biology similar to language translation?

Information from the nucleotides is translated to information in amino acids through a process of translation. Three nucleotides together form what is called a 'codon'. Each codon (set of three nucleotides in sequence)codes for one amino acid. There are three codons that also code for the 'stop' signal that indicates where the translation should stop. There is also one 'start' codon that indicates where the translation should start.
