How is it possible for gene with a mutation in coding region to encode a polypeptide with the same amino acid sequence as the nonmutant gene?
If the mutant codon still codes for the same amino acid (a silent mutation). For example: GUU, GUC, GUA and GUG all code for the amino acid Valine. So if the mutation changed the codon from GUU to GUA - Valine would still be produced and therefore the polypeptide will be identical.
There can be more than one for the same amino acid?
There can be more than one codon for the same amino acid. The codon is the three letter code that is found in the mRNA.
How codons are used to build protein?
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.
A stop codon on an mRNA molecule does not code for any?
amino acid
Which codon is the code for the amino acid serine (Ser)?
AGU
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.
Which amino acid will be carried to a RNA molecule containing the triplet code A-A-A?
A tRNA molecule with the anti-codon AAU should match up with the mRNA codon UUA. This tRNA will be carrying the amino acid Leucine.

What amino acid is encoded by the initiation codon AUG?
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.
What does each codon code for?
Each codon codes for a specific amino acid.
Which codon is the code for the amino acid histidine?
It is CAC and CAU.
There can be more than one for the same amino acid?
There can be more than one codon for the same amino acid. The codon is the three letter code that is found in the mRNA.
How many nucleotides are required to encode one amino acid?
A codon, or a 3-base code is required to code for one amino acid.

What makes up a code for amino acid?
3 bases, a codon.
Which codon is the code for the amino acid serine (Ser)?
AGU
A stop codon on an mRNA molecule does not code for any?
amino acid
