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.

∙ 9y agoA codon is three DNA or RNA nucleotides that correspond with an amino acid or stop signal, during protein synthesis. For any one codon, there can only be one amino acid.

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.
For any one codon there can be only one what?
A single codon codes for a single amino acid.
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 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
Which amino acids have only one codon?
There are two different amino acids that only have one codon. Methionine thatâ??s DNA codon is ATG and Tryptophan thatâ??s DNA codon is TGG.
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 is a Complimentary codon?
A complimentary codon is one that pairs with another codon according to the base pairing rule. For example, the DNA codon ATG is complimentary to the mRNA codon UAC.
Do stop codon have an amino acid?
A stop codon (UGA, UAA, UAG) only codes for a stop. No amino acid results from a stop codon.
What are 2 amino acids that are represented by only one codon?
Tryptophan (TRP) and Methionine (MET).
How many amino acids does a codon contain?
One amino acid per codon!
What two amino acids are represented with only one codon?
They are triptopan and methionine.Codons are UGG and AUG respectively.
How many amino acids does each condon code for?
No they are not. For a codon, there are 4^3 = 64 codon combinations, but only 20 [common] amino acids. The 4 represents the 4 nitrogenous bases, and the ^3 represents the arrangement into a codon (3 bp). An example of an amino acid that is specified by more than one amino acid is Alanine, which is specified by any of the following combinations: GUU, GUC, GUA, GUG. Because most amino acids have more than one codon, the genetic code is called "degenerate".
