A triplet is a group of 3 DNA nucleotides. A codon is a group of 3 RNA nucleotides. Triplets code for codons, codons code for anticodons in the tRNA, which brings the amino acids.
Coding DNA is any DNA that codes for proteins or RNA molecules. This includes exons and certain introns that code for RNA. Exons code for proteins in translation and are protein coding.
Non protein coding DNA is the “dark matter,” including ancestral DNA, promoter regions, and introns. This DNA does not leave the nucleus during protein synthesis and does not code for proteins.
The promoter region is a start signal for the RNA Polymerase II. It marks the beginning of a gene with two parts, a TATA Box, a sequence of repeating thymine and adenine bases, and the poly A region, a sequence of repeating adenine bases. This is where the enzymes known as binding factors attach and signal to the RNA Polymerase.
Exons and introns are found in the genes of DNA. Exons are the protein coding sections of the genes, meaning they leave the nucleus and contain the codons that create the primary

There are four parts, initiation, elongation, translocation and termination. Initiation attaches the mRNA to the ribosome and begins translation. Elongation is when new codons are exposed and new amino acids are added to the polypeptide. Translocation is the movement of mRNA through the ribosome and termination is when the stop codon is reached and the protein, ribosome and mRNA detach from each other. Ribosomes are key to this process. They have a large and small subunit that come together around the mRNA and provide a place for tRNA to meet mRNA. It also provides enzymes needed to form the peptide bonds. mRNA is essential because it brings the genetic information to the ribosome and tRNA is important because it carries the amino acids to the corresponding codon. The amino acids bond to other amino acids in a specific order to create a
Translation is a task that makes ribosomes synthesize proteins utilizing mRNA transcript made during transcription. In the begining of this task mRNA attaches it self to a ribosome so that it can be reveal a codon (three nucleotides).
Introduction All living and once living things have a genetic code; which is made up by DNA. DNA is made up of phosphates, sugars, carbons, nitrogenous bases and hydrogen bonds all put together to make a double helical structure. The nitrogenous bases in DNA are Adenine(A), Thymine(T), Cytosin(C), and Guanine(G). They are bonded
translation begins with the reading of the first triplet. Small tRNA molecules bring in the
The last thing that happen is the helicase re -winds the DNA strands after zipping them bake up. So, DNA is a code for making protein. When the cell requires a specific protein to be made. The gene for that protein is found and copied into a message than we cell mRNA. Which can leave the nucleus to go to a ribosome where proteins are made.
The BLAST search that was chosen for this particular sequence was the nucleotide blast, as DNA and RNA are chains of nucleotides. A, C, G and T are the nucleotides that are found in DNA. A, C, G and U are nucleotides that are found in RNA. Nucleotides are the building blocks of proteins. Proteins are chains of amino acids of which there are 20 or so, which are made up of nucleotides. This particular sequence was made up of the nucleotides; Thymine, Adenine, Guanine and Cytosine, therefore, it is a nucleotide sequence, rather than a protein sequence.
During the process of transcription, the information stored in a gene's DNA is transferred to a similar molecule called RNA (ribonucleic acid) in the cell nucleus. Both RNA and DNA are made up of a chain of nucleotide bases, but they have slightly different chemical properties. The type of RNA that contains the information for making a protein is called messenger RNA (mRNA) because it carries the information, or message, from the DNA out of the nucleus into the cytoplasm.
Examples of non-coding RNA include small interfering RNAs (siRNA), transfer RNAs (tRNA), or small nuclear RNAs (snRNA).
There is some redundancy in the code as most of the amino acids may be encoded by more than one codon. Moreover, the code can be expressed as RNA or DNA codons with the former being used during translation (i.e. creation of proteins) after acquiring its sequence of nucleotides from the latter during transcription (i.e. copying of DNA into mRNA).
• The DNA template strand is observed at from the three’ to the five’ plus the mRNA will be made from the five’ to the three’ end, through this transcript the coding parts only of the DNA will be imitated, the non-coding parts are
The DNA code is a triplet code which determines the type of amino acids and the order in which they are joined together to form a specific protein. The bases hydrogen bond together by complementary base pairing between strands. Complementary base pairing refers to the structural pairing of nucleotide bases in DNA, which is made up of four nucleotide bases; guanine (G), cytosine (C), adenine (A), and thymine (T). The adenine base is always paired with the complementary thymine base (U in RNA) and guanine is always paired with the complementary cytosine base.
Deoxyribonucleic (DNA) is the molecule that hold the genetic information of living things. In our body every cell contains about 2 meters of DNA. DNA is copied every time a cell divides. Deoxyribonucleic (DNA) is made up of two polynucleotide strands. Polynucleotide strands twist around each other, forming a shape that looks like a ladder called a double helix. The two polynucleotide strands run antiaparallel to each other with nitrogenous bases this means that the stands run in opposite directions, parallel to one another. The DNA molecule consists of two backbones chains of sugars and phosphate groups. The organic bases held together by hydrogen bonds. Although bases bonded together are termed paired
Proteins and DNA are related because they interact with each other in such a way that DNA encodes protein. For example, DNA is made of a specific formation of nucleotides, which provides information about which amino acids should be synthesized to create proteins. Therefore, DNA and its composition play a vital role in the production of proteins, portraying a very significant relationship.
The discovery of the spatial structure of DNA revolutionized the world of science and led to many new discoveries without which it is impossible to imagine not only modern science, but also modern life as a whole. In 60th another important discovery was made - the genetic code. DNA contains information about everything that is inherited, including the linear structure of each protein in the body. Proteins, like DNA, represent long molecular chains of amino acids. There are 20 amino acids. Accordingly, it was unclear how the "language" of DNA, consisting of a four-letter alphabet, is translated into the "language" of proteins, where 20 "letters". It revealed that the combination of three nucleotides of DNA clearly
Protein synthesis is a two-part process that involves a second type of nucleic acid along with DNA. This second type of nucleic acid is RNA, ribonucleic acid.
All living organisms, from amoebas to humans, have a molecular code called DNA in their cells, which instruct the activities that keep the organism alive. DNA is made up of long, twisted strands of four molecular “letters” (A, T, G, and C), which pair up according to their complementary base pairs, and their order determines how proteins — the vital molecules that perform all the major tasks in our cells — are made. (Refer to Diagram 1 to help sum up the concept.)
