Question

If AAA is a codon that codes for amino acid lysine,there are 7 such codons in a template RNA,if the codon in 3rd position is altered to UGA,how many lysine will be produced during translation?​

Answer 1

Answer:

This arrangement of three nucleotides is called a codon when it is in the messenger mRNA and anticodon when it is located in the transfer tRNA segments that carry each amino acid into ribosomes for processing. ... So, the reason codons are three nucleotides long is because four is too many; two is not enough.
