Is tryptophan the starting codon for mRNA?
No, tryptophan is an amino acid and not a starting codon for mRNA. The starting codon for mRNA is typically AUG, which codes for the amino acid methionine in most cases.
Which amino acid is coded by the DNA codon TAC?
The DNA codon TAC codes for the amino acid Tyrosine.
How many amino acids does a codon contain?
A codon contains three amino acids. Each codon in mRNA corresponds to a specific amino acid in a protein sequence.
What amino acid is AUG or GUG?
The codon AUG represents the amino acid methionine, which serves as the start codon for protein synthesis. The codon GUG typically codes for the amino acid valine.
What amino acid is coded for by the codon AUC?
The codon AUC codes for the amino acid isoleucine.
Which codon is the code for the amino acid histidine?
It is CAC and CAU.
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 codon is the code for the amino acid histidine His?
The mRNA codons for histidine are CAU and CAC.
Each codon calls for a specific?
amino acid
What is the term for a 3-nucleotide sequence on mRNA that codes for an amino acid?
The term is "codon." Each codon corresponds to a specific amino acid or serves as a start or stop signal for protein synthesis.
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.
The codon GAU is for?
GAU is the codon.
