To determine:
The number of codons in
Concept introduction:
A codon is defined as the nucleotide sequence of DNA or RNA arranged in a set of three. It is involved in either initiation or termination of protein synthesis. There are 64 codons that codes for specific amino acid. Codons are responsible for the process of translation as transfer RNA carriers amino acids from cytoplasm, as it is present in the form of codon and codons are bind with anticodon. The

BIOLOGY: CONCEPTS AND INVESTIGATIONS,
- The genetic code uses three bases to encode one amino acid. Why can't the code use only two bases to encode each amino acid?arrow_forwardA group of 3 nucleotides codes for one amino acid. How many codons are needed to make the polypeptide that results?arrow_forwardCodons and anticodons are both three-base sequences. How do they differ?arrow_forward
- If a codon GCA codes for the amino acid alanine in a prokaryote, what will it code for in a eukaryote? _____arrow_forwardIf one codon codes for two nucleotide than how many possible codons are there?arrow_forwardIf the sequence of amino acids encoded by a strand of DNA is serine-alanine-lysine-leucine, what is the order of bases in the sense strand of DNA?
