What is a codon and why are they important?

Why its important that each codon corresponds to specific amino acid n thateach tRNA carries only a amino acid?

  • Answer:

    Because you are trying to create a specific protein. That protein is made up of specific amino acids. So you need a blueprint that will tell you exactly which amino acid goes where. If they didn't correspond to specific amino acids then you would have a random mess.

mRNA movies through the ribose, and the codons read. tRNA molecules with complementary anti-codons bring the matching amino acids to the mRNA The amino acts are connected to each other by peptide bonds, forming a polypeptide chain (protein) Goal: the decoding of mRNA into a polypeptide (amino acid) chain= protein.
