Front

What is a codon?

Back

A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides in mRNA that codes for a specific amino acid.

Front

How many amino acids are there that can be coded by codons?

Back

There are 20 standard amino acids.

Front

What is the start codon and its significance?

Back

The start codon is AUG, which codes for Methionine and signals the start of protein synthesis.

Front

What are stop codons?

Back

Stop codons (UAA, UAG, UGA) signal the termination of protein synthesis.

Front

What is the relationship between DNA, mRNA, and amino acids?

Back

DNA is transcribed into mRNA, which is then translated into a sequence of amino acids to form proteins.
