sequence of nucleotide in anticodon of codon is UCG
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
. The specific amino acid sequence of a polypeptide is determined by the nucleotide sequences of the gene that encodes it. The sequence of nucleotides in the DNA of a gene is transcribed into the equivalent sequence in mRNA. Remember that it is the template strand of DNA that is transcribed, but the mRNA synthesized has the same sequence as the nontemplate strand. A phalanx of ribosomes moves along the mRNA, each starting at the 5′ end and proceeding along the entire length of the mRNA to the 3′ end. As a ribosome moves along, it “reads” the nucleotide sequence of the mRNA three nucleotides at a time. Each group of three, called a triplet codon, stands for a specific amino acid. Since there are four different nucleotides in mRNA, there are 4 × 4 × 4 = 64 different possible codons. These codons and the amino acids they stand for are shown in Figure 3-18. This same genetic code is used by virtually all organisms on the planet. There are some exceptions in which a few of the codons have different meanings.
