glutamine
This is the side chain amidated form of Glutamate, so it is quite polar but carries no formal electrical charge when present in a polypeptide. You can find a good introductory description of the amino acids, their structures and classification, at this web site www.bio.davidson.edu/Biology/aatable.html

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 need to code one amino acid?
3
What are three nucleotides that together specify one amino acid?
TRIPLET CODE
How is a genetic code is redundant?
There are 64 codons, that code for only 20 amino acids. This make the genetic code redundant - because different codons can code for the same amino acid.This provides some protection against mistakes - because a replacement of a single base may end up coding for the same amino acid - causing no change to the final protein product.
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.
What is the three letter sequence that codes for an amino acid?
One letter accounts for one nitrogen base, which is part of a codon, which codes for one amino acid.
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 amino acid is Gln?
Gln is the three letter abbreviation for the amino acid glutamine. The one letter abbreviation for this is Q.
How many bases make up the code for one amino acid?
There are 3 nitrogen bases equalling one amino acid and they are called codons. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein and in turn protein in science is one of the building blocks of life. The protein molecule has the chromosome strands. On each strand of the chromosome there are shapes in groups of 3 which is the RNA or the Ribonucleic Acid. Where the chromosomes are located, the strands have messengers that travel outside to the ribosomes to be decoded or decyphered. Once the RNA has been decoded by the ribosomes the amino acid is formed. The chronological order of the amino acid being decyphered determines the type of protein. Protein is essential for human growth as it helps with the repair of our muscles amoungst many of it's uses.
What do you call a 3 letter word on a mRNA molecule?
The three-base sequence on a tRNA molecule is known as an anti-codon. This matches up with the codon (another 3-base code) on the mRNA to ensure that the correct amino acid is added to the chain (protein) being created.
The genetic code for one amino acid molecule consists of?
The genetic code for one amino acid is called a codon, and consists of a three nucleotide sequence. Codons don't always code for an amino acid, there are also start codons and stop codons that help the body determine where the genetic code for a specific protein starts and stops.
How many nucleotides are need to code one amino acid?
3
How many bases on a strand of mRNA code for one amino acid?
3 nucleotides
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.
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.
How many nitrogen bases are needed to code for one amino acid?
3
