What is the first codon in every mRNA?
AUG, which codes for the amino acid methionine.
What are the basic units of protein?
Amino acidsAmino acids, of which there are about 20 basic types make up proteins. Some different amino acids are cysteine, alanine, lysine, leucine, phenylalanine, valine, methionine and isoleucine, histidine, proline, serine, tryptophan, aspartic acid and glycine. Amino acids are composed of a carboxyl group (COOH group), a NH2 group or amine group, a hydrogen, and an R-group (all around a central carbon).Amino acids string themselves into chains to form polypeptides. Polypeptides react with one another to form structures (many globular) called proteins.The seqence of amino acids is essential to the type of protein formed. For example one protein that has its amino acid chain starting alanine-alanine-lysine is a completely different protein to one that begins alanine-lysine-alanine for example.amino acids
How do amino acids specify codons?
Nucleutoides.
Why you can not produce amino acids after birth?
Untrue. You continue to produce amino acids throughout your entire life. Amino Acids are the single links in producing protein chains, thus you always need to make more. The thing that you can never change is your DNA which codes for the makeup of Amino Acids.
What is the role of amino acids in building proteins?
Proteins (chain of at least 100 amino acids) and Polypeptids (below that)
What is the first codon in every mRNA?
AUG, which codes for the amino acid methionine.
The codes for amino acids are called?
codons
What specific amino acid that codes for part of a protein?
That MAY have happened 3.5 billion years ago ... but not today. DNA carries the codes for amino acid sequences. RNA transfers the codes. Ribosomes link the amino acids into proteins. Amino acids don't code for proteins, genes do. The base sequence in the genes codes for how the amino acids should be sequenced to make proteins.
Why is the sequence of amino acids significant in building proteins?
dna gives codes for 1 of20 amino acids. amino acids form chains and a complete chain is a protein.
Uuu codes for the amino acid phenylalanine in humans and bacteria Theis is due to which property of the Genetic code?

Can an amino acid be specified by more than one codon?
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.

What is the amino acid to uua?
what is the true amino acid is that amino acid aau?
How do nucleotides translate into amino acids?
A codon of nucleotides codes for an amino acid. The combination of nucleotides in a codon determines the amino acid the codon makes.
What amino acid would be made form the mRNA code for a a a?
AGT codes for the amino acid serine and CTT codes for the amino acid leucine.
