In a eukaryotic mRNA, after the stop codon is reached the remaining codons will be translated as a series of lysines there is only one codon for methionine some amino acids have six different codons some codons code for more than one amino acid the codon UAA does not have a corresponding tRNA the codon GGC codes for glycine

In a eukaryotic mRNA, after the stop codon is reached the remaining codons will be translated as a series of lysines: This statement is false. After the stop codon is reached, translation stops and no more amino acids are added to the polypeptide chain. Show more…

Codons are three-base sequences in mRNA that specify the addition of a single amino acid to the growing protein chain during translation. How do eukaryotic codons and prokaryotic codons • The translation of codons is mediated by tRNAs in eukaryotes, but translation requires no intermediate molecules such as tRNAs in prokaryotes. Codons are a nearly universal language among all organisms Prokaryotic codons usually specify different amino acids than those of eukaryotes Prokaryotic codons usually contain different bases than those of eukaryotes

Synthesis of a particular protein is terminated when. the codon UUU appears in the mRNA. a UAA, UAG, or UGA codon appears in the mRNA. the codon AAA appears in the mRNA. the AUG, codon appears in the mRNA

The mitochondrial genomes of single-celled eukaryotes such as Oxytricha and Tetrahymena encode a functional tRNA with the anticodon 5'UCA3', and this tRNA is amino-acylated. Therefore, in these mitochondria: This amino-acyl tRNA acts to terminate translation. Both 5'AGU and 5'AGG are stop codons. Both 5'UGA and 5'UGG are stop codons. The 5'UGA codon is not a stop codon. The amino acid tryptophan (Trp) is not used in translation.
