What is the stop codon for this mRNA strand?!
Question: What is the stop codon for this mRNA strand?
i know the start is AUG, but isnt after i find the start codon, everything will be in triplets? I saw UAA and thought that would be the stop codon, but it is in a different triplet.
Here was the original question:
Utilizing the correct strand, write out the mRNA strand, find the start codon - & start translating utilizing the table, continue until there is a stop codon. Identify the correct tRNA anticodons for each of the amino acids.
And this is the table: http://content.answers.com/main/content/…
^ I have no idea how im supposed to utilize the table.
Answers:
I just did this for hw for the test tomorrow
Aug is the start
CAU CGC AUG UCG ACU GCU UGC ACG UAA CGC UGC
you missed one when you were translating
the stop is UAA
there is 3 we need to know for the test
UAA UAG UGA
i think I''m in your class
It's either UAA, UAG, or UGA. Those are your stop codons.
You use the table by saying what each mRNA is.
such as:
His. Arg. His. Met.
His is Cau. You know this by looking at the table. you start on the left. choose C then you look up at the top and look at A and look in the CA column and then you find CAU. and next to it, it says CAU. :)
hope i helped.
and i think you might have done it wrong because there aren't any stop codons in there.
