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.

How many amino acids does a codon contain?

A codon contains three amino acids. Each codon in mRNA corresponds to a specific amino acid in a protein sequence.


Are amino acid that are represented by one codon?

yes, but there are amino acids can be represented by many codons.


Is it impossible for an amino acid to be specified by more than one codon?

No. On the contrary, most amino acids are specified by more than one codon. Click on the related link to see a table of amino acids and their codons from the Algorithmic Arts website.


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 are the differences between codon anticodon?

Codons are three bases on mRNA which go to the ribosome which translates into amino acids. The amino acids are attached to tRNA which has the anticodon on it which will bind to the codon on the mRNA. This is how the ribosome picks out the correct amino acid. the tRNA with the anti codon just binds to the codon and the amino acids start binding together via peptide bonds.


How many amino acids make a codon?

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.


What is the name of the process where RNA codon is read and the tRNA anti-codon brings amino acids to the codon?

What is codon and sense codon?

A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides in DNA or RNA that codes for a specific amino acid. A sense codon is a codon that specifies one of the 20 standard amino acids in protein synthesis.

What is the first amino acids?

Methionine, made from the codon AUG.


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.


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.
