Document Summary
As each monomer of datp joins the dna strand it loses 2 phosphate groups as a molecule of antiparallel elongation. The antiparallel structure of the double helix affects replication; Dna ploymerase adds nucleotides onl to the free 3" end of a growing strand; therefore a new dna strand can elongate gene expression process by which dna directs protein synthesis transcription translation. Dna => transcription => rna => translation => proteins. How many nucleotide bases correspond to an amino acid codon three-nucleotide sequence on messenger rna that codes for a single amino acid; (in. The genetic code is redundant but not ambiguous - no codon specifies more than one amino acid; multiple codons may code for the same msg. 64 codons total and 61 code for amino acids; 3 triplets are "stop" signals/ "stop codons" to end translation. How many code for amino acids? termination codons marking the end of translation.
