Consider the mRNA wheel. mc022-1.jpg Which amino acid is coded for by the mRNA codon UAA? start codon stop codon Leu Asn
2 answers:
Attached is an example of a mRNA wheel.
The codon UAA codes a stop codon. The mRNA wheel is read by starting to choose from the four letters at the centre the one that is the first in the codon. Then, on that quarter of the circle, choose from the four letters, the second in the codon. Repeat again the process for the 1/16 part you chose previously choosing now the last letter in the codon. You are now able to identify what is coded by the mRNA codon.
