How many nucleotides a genetic codon carries?
Three nucleotides makes up each codon. The codons consist of combination of 4 differing nucleotides A,G,T, and C.
How many nucleotides are needed to specify one codon?
three.
How many codons are there in an mRNA with 75 nucleotides?
There are 25 codons in an mRNA with 75 nucleotides because each codon consists of a sequence of three nucleotides.
What is a group of three nucleotides called?
This arrangement is called a codon.In DNA and RNA a group of three nucleotides in a row is called a codon. In tRNA a group of three nucleotides is called an anticodon.
A polypeptide found in the cytoplasm of a cell contains 12 amino acids How many nucleotides would be required in the mRNA for this polypeptide to be translated?
Since each amino acid is coded for by a specific triplet of nucleotides (codon), and there is a start codon and a stop codon, we need 15 nucleotides in the mRNA (3 nucleotides for each amino acid + 3 for start codon + 3 for stop codon).
What is a group of nucleotides called?
codon
Complementary nucleotides to a codon?
Anticodon
Three nucleotides that together specify one aminoacid?
Codon
Is it true that a codon consists of four nucleotides?
No, a codon is made up of three nucleotides. Each codon encodes for a specific amino acid in the genetic code.
How many tRNA nucleotides form an anitcodon that will attach to the mRNA codon?
The codon and the anticodon interact with each other via hydrogen bonding, hence both the codon and anticodon are made up of the same number of nucleotides, which is three.
What is another name for three nucleotides in a row which encode for a protein?
A sequence of three nucleotides is a codon which codes for an amino acid that will be placed into a protein.
When the ribosome reads mRNA 3 bases at a time the bases are called a what?
a set of three nucleotides is called codons. A set of 3 nucleotides in a tRNA that attaches to the complimentary codon is called the anti-codon
