Want this question answered?
the three nucleotides on a mRNA that codes for a amino acid is called a codon
what is the true amino acid is that amino acid aau?
They all begin with AUG, which is the start codon.
A stop codon (UGA, UAA, UAG) only codes for a stop. No amino acid results from a stop codon.
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.
AUG, which codes for the amino acid methionine.
There are two codons that code for the amino acid phenylalanine: UUU and UUC.
UUU and it encodes phenylalanine
Yes, each amino acid has several codons that correspond to it. Please see the related link for a chart which shows this. For example, UUU and UUC both code for Phenylalanine. However, if you are asking if a codon can code for more than one amino acid, the answer is no (but there are exceptions). This means that UUU codes for Phenylalanine - not for any other amino acids. Codons are made in sets of three bases to match the anticodons in corresponding sets of three bases.

Each codon codes for a specific amino acid.
The codon ACA codes for the amino acid Threonine(Thr).

No, tryptophan is an amino acid, not a codon. The start codon is AUG, which codes for the amino acid methionine.
well the gene code itself, each codon (and anti-codon) codes for different proteins
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.
