Question

What are the three coding letters in mRNA called?

Answer 1

mRNA (messenger RNA):

1. mRNA or messenger RNA is a single-stranded RNA molecule.
2. It is complementary to the DNA and carries genetic information present in the DNA.
3. The nucleotide sequence of a gene is translated into the amino acid sequence of a protein by rules known as the genetic code, which is carried out through the medium of mRNA.
4. In the early 1960s, this code was cracked.
5. The nucleotide sequence of the mRNA molecule is read in groups of three nucleotides.
6. The three coding letters in mRNA are A, U, and G, where A - Adenine, U - Uracil, and G - Guanine.
