Question

multiple choice question stop codons within mrna indicate where to end translation. what is a characteristic of these codons? they do not have corresponding trna anticodons. they bind permanently to ribosomes. they do not have a complementary sequence in dna. they are the only part of rna with thymine as a base. need help? review these concept resources. rate your confidence to submit your answer. high medium low reading

Explanation:

In the process of translation, tRNA anticodons pair with mRNA codons to bring the appropriate amino - acids. Stop codons (UAA, UAG, UGA) do not have corresponding tRNA anticodons. When a stop codon is reached, translation terminates. Ribosomes do not bind to stop codons permanently. Stop codons have complementary DNA sequences as they are transcribed from DNA. RNA does not contain thymine; it contains uracil instead.

Answer:

They do not have corresponding tRNA anticodons.
