The amino acid that is encoded by the initiation codon AUG is methionine. It is the only amino acid which is specified by just one codon.
i think that it has a code and an actual name. my first guess was methionine, but i dont know the specific code for it
aug codes for methionine which serves as a start for all amino acids in humans
Well
AUG is a codon itself.
it codes for the amino acid met.
It is often called the start codon.
It corresponds to the anticodon UAC.
Guc-uga-uga-aaa
a=u
c=g
The mRNA codon UAG is a stop codon. It does not code for an amino acid.
methonine abreviatted to MET
Methionine, valine, and glycine
Lysine (Lys or K)
anti codon to UAG
When a gene is transcribed there is a sequence of RNA bases that was copied from the DNA sequence. The RNA sequence can be exactly the same as the DNA or can be modified more in higher organisms by removing the introns if any. Three RNA bases is a codon. Each codon signifies an amino acid. There is an initiation codon and a terminal codon. So the amino acid sequence is determined by the sequence (multiple of 3 RNA bases) of codons between the initiation codon and termination codon.
No, tryptophan is an amino acid, not a codon. The start codon is AUG, which codes for the amino acid methionine.
Start Codon Methionine's code is AUG which is also a start codon causing initiation of translation.
One amino acid per codon!
It is a triplet of bases (codon) coding for the amino acid tyrosine

amino acid
A codon of nucleotides codes for an amino acid. The combination of nucleotides in a codon determines the amino acid the codon makes.
No, tryptophan is an amino acid, not a codon. The start codon is AUG, which codes for the amino acid methionine.
Start Codon Methionine's code is AUG which is also a start codon causing initiation of translation.
A stop codon (UGA, UAA, UAG) only codes for a stop. No amino acid results from a stop codon.

Codon = 3 amino acid sequence found on mRNA. Anti codon = 3 amino acid sequence found on tRNA.The codons are for the traslation of mRNa to an amino acid sequence by using ribosomes.
To obtain one amino acid, you generally need one codon. Each codon consists of three nucleotides, which encode for a specific amino acid during the process of protein synthesis. There are exceptions due to redundancy and the possibility of multiple codons coding for the same amino acid, but in most cases, one amino acid is encoded by one codon.
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.
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.
