Mrna has the following condons agu-ggu-cga what would the anticodons be on tRNA?

The anticodons on tRNA corresponding to the mRNA codons would be UCU-CCA-GCU. This is because they are complimentary to the mRNA codons based on the genetic code.


Which strand of mrna would be made during transcription using the dna strand gat ccc?

Gcu aga


What is the amino acid sequence when given mRNA?

To determine the amino acid sequence from mRNA, you would first transcribe the mRNA into a complementary DNA sequence, then translate the DNA sequence into amino acids using the genetic code. Each set of three nucleotides (codon) in the mRNA corresponds to a specific amino acid in the protein.


How does the cell know which proteins to make from the DNA code?

Firstly, DNA is transcripted to mRNA, which is then translated by ribosomes into your polypeptide. Each set of 3 bases on the mRNA (codon) codes for a particular amino acid. However, there can be up to four codons, coding for a single amino acid. ie GCU, GCC, GCA and GCG all code for Alanine. Therefore, if you know the amino acid sequence, you can work backwards to mRNA and then to DNA, but you wouldn't be very accurate as you'd need to guess the codons.


Where does the mRNA get its code for making proteins?

mRNA gets its code from DNA during process "Transcription".


Complementary to an mRNA codon?

it depends on the codon spcified. The tRNA will have the complementary strand along with an amino acid, for which is specified by the mRNA. if the mRNA codon was "CGA" the tRNA codon would have an amino acid and the complementary codon of "GCU"


When was GCU London created?

GCU London was created in 2010.


Is mRNA used to carry the genetic code from DNA to ribosomes?

mRNA carries the genetic code to a ribosome.


What are the 3 other codons for alanine?

The three other codons that code for alanine besides GCU are GCC, GCA, and GCG.


A gene has the base sequence that starts with TCG GAC CAT CGAg b) What would be the mRNA base sequence formed from this DNA?

The mRNA sequence transcribed from the given DNA sequence is AGC CUG GUA GCU. The DNA base T pairs with A in mRNA, C pairs with G, G pairs with C, and A pairs with U.


How do you translate this to to messenger RNA from DNA ccg atc gac cga?

To transcribe DNA to messenger RNA, you need to replace each DNA base with its RNA complement: G in DNA is transcribed to C in mRNA, C to G, A to U (uracil), and T to A. Therefore, the DNA sequence ccg atc gac cga would be transcribed to GGC UAG CUG GCU in mRNA.


How is mrna transcribed through translation only?

That question doesn't make sense. mRNA is created by transcription (i.e. DNA code to RNA code) and the mRNA is translated to proteins
