how many nitrogen bases are found in an mrna codon?
443364
In mRNA, each codon is the code for a specific? Since there are 4 nitrogen bases and they are "read" three at a time, how many different codons are possible? Genes are the instructions for building the proteins that determine the "PHENOTYPE" of the organism.

The codon is set of 3 pairs of nitrogen bases. Three bases actually code for an amino acid but the DNA requires that the three bases that are doing the coding are linked to their pair.

The genetic code consists of 64 triplets of nucleotides. These triplets are called codons. With three exceptions, each codon encodes for one of the 20 amino acids used in the synthesis of proteins. That produces some redundancy in the code: most of the amino acids being encoded by more than one codon.

The nucleotide triplet that encodes an amino acid is called a codon. Each group of three nucleotides encodes one amino acid. Since there are 64 combinations of 4 nucleotides taken three at a time and only 20 amino acids, the code is degenerate (more than one codon per amino acid, in most cases).

mRNA codons are read from 5' to 3' , and they specify the order of amino acids in a protein from N-terminus (methionine) to C-terminus. Translation involves reading the mRNA nucleotides in groups of three; each group specifies an amino acid (or provides a stop signal indicating that translation is finished).

Anticodon. An anticodon is a unit of three nucleotides corresponding to the three bases of an mRNA codon. Each tRNA has a distinct anticodon triplet sequence that can form 3 complementary base pairs to one or more codons for an amino acid.

The arrangement of nitrogenous bases in DNA determines an organism's traits. Every three bases is a triplet and codes for a particular amino acid. Amino acids joined together form a polypeptide and polypeptides make up proteins. Each gene, a distinct segment of DNA codes for a different protein.

The five-carbon sugar ring and the content of the nitrogenous base between DNA and RNA are slightly different from each other. Four different types of nitrogenous bases are found in DNA: adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G). In RNA, the thymine is replaced by uracil (U).

Nitrogenous base: A molecule that contains nitrogen and has the chemical properties of a base. The nitrogenous bases in DNA are adenine (A), guanine (G), thymine (T), and cytosine (C). The nitrogenous bases in RNA are the same, with one exception: adenine (A), guanine (G), uracil (U), and cytosine (C).

These nitrogenous bases are Adenine (A), Cytosine (C) and Guanine (G) which are found in both RNA and DNA and then Thymine (T) which is only found in DNA and Uracil (U), which takes the place of Thymine in RNA.

Each codon has a complementary set of bases, called an anticodon. Anticodons are a part of transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules. Attached to each tRNA molecule is an amino acid -- in this case, the amino acid is methionine (met). You've matched the first codon in this mRNA molecule, AUG, with its complement, UAC.

There are four nitrogenous bases found in DNA that are called guanine, adenine, thymine and cytosine. ... Each nucleotide base can hydrogen-bond with a specific partner base in a process known as complementary base pairing: Cytosine forms three hydrogen bonds with guanine, and adenine forms two hydrogen bonds with thymine.

The DNA and RNA Structures Nucleotides simply refer to nitrogenous bases, pentose sugar together with the phosphate backbone. Both DNA and RNA have four nitrogenous bases each—three of which they share (Cytosine, Adenine, and Guanine) and one that differs between the two (RNA has Uracil while DNA has Thymine).
869055
The nitrogenous bases found in DNA are, adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine. DNA molecules have two polynucleotide chains, held together in a ladderlike structure. ... DNA acts as the store of genetic information. The sequence of bases along its length are the "language" of the cell and code for all its proteins.

Nucleic Acids: DNA and RNA Four different types of nitrogenous bases are found in DNA: adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G). In RNA, the thymine is replaced by uracil (U).

Each three-letter sequence of mRNA nucleotides corresponds to a specific amino acid, or to a stop codon. UGA, UAA, and UAG are stop codons.
