Study Notes
Translation
- The adaptor molecule in translation is transfer RNA (tRNA)
- A codon consists of three nucleotides
The Genetic Code
- There are 64 different codons in the genetic code
- The genetic code is NOT ambiguous, meaning each codon codes for only one amino acid or stop signal
- The genetic code is degenerate, meaning more than one codon can code for the same amino acid
tRNA
- tRNA is a type of RNA that brings amino acids to the ribosome during translation
