No. Some are specified by only one codon eg. methionine and tryptophan. But some have more than one codon eg. threonine.

True or false A codon signifies either a specific amino acid or a stop signal?
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.
What are 2 amino acids that are represented by only one codon?
Tryptophan (TRP) and Methionine (MET).
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 is the number of codons that actually specify amino acids is?
61. there are 64 total codon arrangements. However three of those (UAA, UAG, UGA) are STOP codons and in turn do not call for the tRNA to bind a protein. Rather, these 3 codons call for termination of translation. The START condon in RNA is UAG, with calls for the amino acid (Met'). It is important to remember that even though there are 61 codons that call for amino acids, only 20 amino acids are available. This means that more than one codon can call for the same amino acid which brings about the REDUNDANT characteristic of codons. However they are NOT AMBIGUOUS, meaning that a codon cannot call for several different amino acids. Serveral codons can call for the same amino acid, but each codon can only call for ONE specific amino acid.
What contains both a carboxyl group and an amino group?
An amino group and an R group
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.
Which amino acids have only one codon?
There are two different amino acids that only have one codon. Methionine thatâ??s DNA codon is ATG and Tryptophan thatâ??s DNA codon is TGG.
How many amino acids does each condon code for?
No they are not. For a codon, there are 4^3 = 64 codon combinations, but only 20 [common] amino acids. The 4 represents the 4 nitrogenous bases, and the ^3 represents the arrangement into a codon (3 bp). An example of an amino acid that is specified by more than one amino acid is Alanine, which is specified by any of the following combinations: GUU, GUC, GUA, GUG. Because most amino acids have more than one codon, the genetic code is called "degenerate".
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.
Is it possible for an amini acid to be specified by more than one codon?
Yes. There are 64 different codons and only 20 amino acids.
What amino acid is represented by only one codon?
There are two amino acids that only correspond to one codon:Tryptophan whose codon is UGGMethionine whose codon is AUG
True or false A codon signifies either a specific amino acid or a stop signal?
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.
What are the amino acids on the codon table?
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.
What about the degenracy of genetic code?
Type your answer here... the degenracy of code means there are more than one codons for one amino acid.The opposite of it ie.non-degeneracy of codon means ther is only one codon for one amino acid.
What are 2 amino acids that are represented by only one codon?
Tryptophan (TRP) and Methionine (MET).
What two amino acids are represented with only one codon?
They are triptopan and methionine.Codons are UGG and AUG respectively.
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.
