Do you know what a stop codon is ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, i know what it is, the problem is in the identification because each answer I try turns out to be wrong

OpenStudy (abhisar):

What stop codons have u tried yet ?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

From this part, I tried 167,168,169,170 and 183 :/

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Just temme the codon. like TAA, AGC...what do you think are stop codons ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

UAA, UAG and UGA

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Here you go !

OpenStudy (abhisar):

I knew u will be doing this mistake only !

OpenStudy (abhisar):

You have been given a DNA and not a RNA

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so.... ATT, ATC and ACT?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

First of all which strand are you looking ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the bottom one

OpenStudy (abhisar):

TAG, TAA, TGA are stop codons of DNA

OpenStudy (abhisar):

ok do one thing. can you write down the RNA sequence for this ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

AUC , AUU, and ACU?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok first think to yourself what this is going to be and think about what codon means always define first that way you will get the question right hope that helped

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

i deffers mis-read the question lol!
