- If a codon consists of two nucleotides, how many codons would be possible? Would this be a workable code for the purpose of protein synthesis?arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about the genetic code are true and which are false? Correct each false statement. a.Each codon is composed of four bases. b.Some amino acids are represented by more than one carbon. c.All codons represent an amino acid. d.Each living species is thought to have its own unique genetic code. e.The codon AUG at the beginning of a sequence is a signal for protein synthesis to begin at that codon. f.It is not known if the code contains stop signals for protein synthesis.arrow_forwardWhat is a codon?arrow_forward
- Must the ratio of guanine to cytosine be 1:1 in RNA? Explain.arrow_forwarda Describe the three components of a nucleotide. b How does the structure of an RNA nucleotide differ from that of a DNA nucleotide?arrow_forwardWrite the base sequence for the mRNA that would be formed during transcription from the DNA strand with the base sequence GCCATATTG.arrow_forward
- If a codon consists of four nucleotides, how many codons would be possible? Would this be workable as an amino-acid code?arrow_forwardThe base sequences in mRNA that code for certain amino acids are Glu: GAA, GAG Val: GUU, GUC, GUA, GUG Met: AUG Trp: UGG Phe: UUU, UUC Asp: GAU, GAC These sequences are complementary to the sequences in DNA. a.
