Question

This is a model of translation in which the genetic code carried on mRNA is used to assemble amino acids into a polypeptide. A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides that codes for a particular amino acid. Using the model, where would you find a codon?

A) on mRNA
B) on tRNA
C) attached to the ribosome
D) attached to the polypeptide

Answer 1

In the model, a codon is identified as part of the mRNA strand. A codon is a series of three nucleotides on mRNA that codes for an amino acid.

mRNA

This is one form of RNA that serves as a template for protein synthesis. It is transcribed from DNA and then translated at ribosomes to produce a protein.

Answer 2

the answer to that problem is A
