Aside from starting and stopping the translation process each codon triplet is the code for one amino acid. As there are 64 codons the amino acid code is redundant.
So, ACU, could be the code for one amino acid in the mRNA coding sequence.

The termination codons that serve as stop signals for the protein synthesis is called?
The answer is "Non-sense" codons
How many codons are in 1 protein?
Three.
What three letter code tells that the protein ia complete?
The three letter code that indicates which amino acid comes next in a protein is called a codon. These codons are on the mRNA transcript that is read by ribosomes to translate into protein.
How are codons used in polypeptide formation?
Four 'types' of nucleotide bases - when they are read three-at-a-time - this is considered to be a triplet-codon. Triplet codons are individually related to one specific amino acid, a polypeptide being a short protein.
Where is ATP used to build protein molecules?
compound
How many protein-coding codons are there?
61 codons specify the amino acids used in proteins and 3 codons (stop codons) signal termination of growth of the polypeptide chain...so 64 total
What is rRNA?
Ribosomal ribonucleic (rRNA) is RNA that forms part of ribosomes. rRNA plays a role in translation, in which mRNA's codons and tRNA's anticodons are used to build a protein.
The termination codons that serve as stop signals for the protein synthesis is called?
The answer is "Non-sense" codons
How many codons are in 1 protein?
Three.
How many codons are present on the mRNA strand?
There are 6 codon here. Look at the letters and put them into threes. Those three are called codons. Each codes for one amino acid and all of these is a string of threes which will make a small protein.
How many codons would be needed if a bacterial protein contains 150 amino acids?
1. the start codon 2. 150 codons, 1 for each amino acid 3. the stop codon The total number of different codons is 64...if this question is asking about unique codons used the answer will depend on which amino acids are in the peptide.
What mRNA codons would cause synthesis of a protein to terminate?
UAG
What process is used to build a protein?
translation
What three letter code tells that the protein ia complete?
The three letter code that indicates which amino acid comes next in a protein is called a codon. These codons are on the mRNA transcript that is read by ribosomes to translate into protein.
Which type of RNA contains codons?
Messenger RNA (mRNA). Transfer RNA (tRNA) contains anti-codons.
How are codons used in polypeptide formation?
Four 'types' of nucleotide bases - when they are read three-at-a-time - this is considered to be a triplet-codon. Triplet codons are individually related to one specific amino acid, a polypeptide being a short protein.
Essential nutrient used to build and repair body cells and cells?
I am pretty sure that it is protein. Protein help build and repair muscle and tissue.
