Are amino acids only represented by one codon?

No. Amino acids are not always represented by only one codon. Several may code for one amino acid.


What amino acid is represented by only one codon?

There are two amino acids that only correspond to one codon:Tryptophan whose codon is UGGMethionine whose codon is AUG


How many amino acids does a codon contain?

One amino acid per codon!


For any codon there can only be one?

There is only one corresponding amino acid for each codon. Each codon codes specifically for one amino acid (however, an amino acid can be coded for by several different codons). For example: CAU codes for Histamine (and not any other amino acid) But, CAC also codes for Histamine.


How many amino acids make a codon?

One codon specifies a specific amino acid. However, more than one codon can code for the same amino acid. For example, the codon GUU codes for the specific amino acid valine; and the codons GUC, GUA, and GUG also code for valine.


All amino acids are specified by only one codon?

No. Some are specified by only one codon eg. methionine and tryptophan. But some have more than one codon eg. threonine.


There can be more than one for the same amino acid?

There can be more than one codon for the same amino acid. The codon is the three letter code that is found in the mRNA.


There can only be one what for every codon?

There can only be one amino acid for every codon. Tryptophan and Methionine are the types of amino acids that correspond to codon.


What are the amino acids on the codon table?

Each codon codes for only one amino acid, or a codon is a start or stop codon, but no codon codes for more than one amino acid.


What does each single codon stand for or code for protein production to stop?

Each messenger-Rna codon stands for one [unique] Amino Acid. ONE mRna - called f-Met Rna - IS [represents] The Start Codon. There are also more than one Stop Codons.


If one base coded for one amino acid what is the maximum number of codes there will be?

There are 21 amino acids found in eukaryotes. Three bases represent a codon, and each codon codes for one amino acid.


Is it 1 or 3 codons equal one amino acid?

One. A codon, made up of three DNA bases (ATG, for example) corresponds to one amino acid. A whole bunch of codons strung together on the DNA corresponds to a whole bunch of amino acids, ultimately strung together to form a peptide, or protein.
