Concept explainers
To list: The possible codons that are present in a ribonucleotide
Concept introduction: The sequence of three mRNA
To explain: The amino acids code the possible codons that are present in a ribonucleotide polymer containing U and G in random sequence.
Concept introduction: The sequence of three mRNA nucleotides code for the amino acids during the translation process. Three nucleotides constitute a codon that codes for the single amino acid. The codon where the translation process starts is the start codon, which is usually AUG that codes for methionine. The stop codon terminates the translation process. The stop codons are UAA, UGA, and UAG.
