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. Google codon table.
Amino acid tables are used to translate mRNA codons into amino acid sequences. They also tell whem mRNA codons produce stops.
Transcription is the process in which an mRNA is synthesized beginning from a DNA template.Translation is the process of assembling a protein. The genetic information coded on the mRNA is essential in assembling a protein.During translation, the genetic information (read as triplet codons) on the mRNA is used as a template to construct a peptide one amino acid at a time.

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.
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
Of the 64 codons, the three that do not code for amino acids are stop codons.The stop codons are:TAG in DNA (UAG in mRNA)TAA (UAA)TGA (UGA)They signify the end of the gene, i.e. the end of the segment to be transcribed and translated.

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.

the Navaho language was used as a code, I think by the US, in WW2
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.
Codons are used for making amino acids. Some codons will tell the ribosomes to start tell the tRNA to make the amino acids or to stop making amino acids. I like to think of the start/initiator/promoter codon(AUG) as a capital letter in a sentence and the stop/terminator codons(UAA, UAG, and UGA) as periods in a sentence.
The triplet code means that 64 codons translate into only 20 amino acids. The additional 44 codons are not used for anything, but they are rather a redundancy in the code.
It is false that all amino acids are specified by only one codon. The codon is simply the language that is used to relay information concerning the messenger ribosomal nucleic acid.

In the translation of a DNA a stop Codon will help to put a stop to the process of translation.There are three stop codons used in the process when a ribosome reaches one of the Codon it stops.
