The tRNA anticodons are complementary to the cod â¦ ons (three nucleotide sequence that represents an amino acid) on mRNA and allow them to be identified by the ribosome. In detail, translation is the second process of making a protein or polypeptide, the first being transcription.
The individual amino acid residues are bonded together by peptide bonds and adjacent amino acid residues. The sequence of amino acid residues in a protein is defined by the sequence of a gene, which is encoded in the genetic code. In general, the genetic code specifies 20 standard amino acids; however, in certain organisms the genetic code can include selenocysteine andâin certain archaeaâpyrrolysine.
The sequence of these bases forms a code, which controls the production of proteins in the cell. A section of the DNA that codes for a specific protein is called a gene. The Double Helix structure of DNA allows it to replicate easily due to the weak hydrogen bonds that unzip quickly. The structure allows allot of information to be stored in small space as the double helix curves.
