Each codon calls for a specific?
amino acid
How do nucleotides translate into amino acids?
A codon of nucleotides codes for an amino acid. The combination of nucleotides in a codon determines the amino acid the codon makes.
Is tryptophan the starting codon for mRNA?
No, tryptophan is an amino acid, not a codon. The start codon is AUG, which codes for the amino acid methionine.
Do stop codon have an amino acid?
A stop codon (UGA, UAA, UAG) only codes for a stop. No amino acid results from a stop codon.
How many amino acids does a codon contain?
One amino acid per codon!
Which amino acid is coded by the DNA codon TAC?
It is a triplet of bases (codon) coding for the amino acid tyrosine
What are codon and anticodons?
Codon = 3 amino acid sequence found on mRNA. Anti codon = 3 amino acid sequence found on tRNA.The codons are for the traslation of mRNa to an amino acid sequence by using ribosomes.
For any codon there can only be one?
There is only one corresponding amino acid for each codon. Each codon codes specifically for one amino acid (however, an amino acid can be coded for by several different codons). For example: CAU codes for Histamine (and not any other amino acid) But, CAC also codes for Histamine.
How many amino acids make a codon?
One codon specifies a specific amino acid. However, more than one codon can code for the same amino acid. For example, the codon GUU codes for the specific amino acid valine; and the codons GUC, GUA, and GUG also code for valine.
What amino acid is coded for by the codon AUC?
The anticodon would be UAG, and the amino acid coded for is isoleucine.
What is the term for a 3-nucleotide sequence on mRNA that codes for an amino acid?
the three nucleotides on a mRNA that codes for a amino acid is called a codon
How many codons are needed to specify 2 amino acids?
each codon have 3 nitrogenous bases . 3 nitrogenous bases = 1 amino acid or say 1 codon =1 amino acid ,so 2 codon = 2 amino acid
