What is a genetic wheel?

Because of four different bases, there are 64 possible three-base codons (4x4x4=64). the genetic wheel shows all 64 possible codons of the genetic code.

What is in the genetic code?

Three-base triplets called codons. Each codon will be translated into an amino acid during the process of translation.

Three-base triplets called codons. Each codon will be translated into an amino acid during the process of translation.


Are codons found in eukaryotes?

Eukaryotes are cells in which DNA is contained in a nucleus. Codons describe sections of 3 base pairs in DNA which code for an amino acid. So, anything with DNA has codons, therefore eukaryotes have codons.

Why genetic code is comma-less?

When a gene is translated into a polypeptide, the codons (each made up of three sequential bases) are sequential on the mRNA. There are no extra bases between the codons, every base in the open reading frame is part of exactly one codon. Furthermore, every possible codon (all 64 three base combinations of the four bases) codes for either an amino acid, or a "stop", so there are no meaningless codons.If the code had "commas" that would mean that there could be bases between codons, or that some triplets would not code for any amino acid (or "stop"). In the 1960's, when researchers were first investigating the nature of the genetic code, the presence of commas in the code seemed like a reasonable hypothesis, particularly once it was established that the code was a triplet code, which means that there are many more possible codons than amino acids (64 vs 20).

What determines where on the DNA molecule transcription begins and where it ends?

I think you are referring to translation - translation is the process of replicating the DNA sequence in order to produce a code for the production of a particular protein, known as an mRNA strand. This code is read in sequences of three bases known as codons. The beginning and end of the mRNA strand is determined by start and stop codons. Start codons, unlike stop codons, also need nearby sequences and initiation factors in order to begin translation. Start codons include base sequences of usually AUG or possibly GUG or UUG depending on the organism. There are three stop codons and these are UAG, UGA and UAA
