What is a Complimentary codon?
A complimentary codon is one that pairs with another codon according to the base pairing rule. For example, the DNA codon ATG is complimentary to the mRNA codon UAC.
Complementary of a codon?
anti-codon.
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 is codon recognition?
Short Answer is: for every triplet codon there is a recognizable anti-triplet codon.
What is the three base sequence in mRNA?
called CODON.
The codon GAU is for?
GAU is the codon.
What is the codon for trytophan?
The codon for trytophan is UGG.
What codon must every mRNA begin with?
They all begin with AUG, which is the start codon.
The set of three nitrogen bases tha represents an amino acid?
Codon
What happens at a start codon?
A start codon signals the start of translation
What is the starter codon?
Usual start codon is AUG
What is the definition of an codon?
A codon is a unit of genetic code
