Different amino acids have different number of codons. Most amino acids have more than one codon so we say that the genetic code is degenerate.
Alanine (A, Ala) 4
Cysteine (C, Cys) 2
Aspartate (D, Asp) 2
Glutamate (E, Glu) 2
Phenylalanine (F, Phe) 2
Glycine (G, Gly) 4
Histidine (H, His) 2
Isoleucine (I, Ile) 3
Lysine (K, Lys) 2
Leucine (L, Leu) 6
Methonine (M, Met) 1 (start codon)
...and so on
You can find a table of the genetic code on Google. One that I have found is at http://member.cox.net/The_Genetic_Code-01_01_15.jpg

What does each codon code for?
Each codon codes for a specific amino acid, which is a building block of proteins. The sequence of codons in mRNA determines the sequence of amino acids in a protein. There are 64 possible codons, with 61 coding for amino acids and 3 serving as stop codons to signal the end of protein synthesis.
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.
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.
For which specific amino acid does each codon code in the genetic code?
Each codon in the genetic code codes for a specific amino acid. For example, the codon "AUG" codes for the amino acid methionine.
How many codons would be needed if a bacterial protein contains 150 amino acids?
1. the start codon 2. 150 codons, 1 for each amino acid 3. the stop codon The total number of different codons is 64...if this question is asking about unique codons used the answer will depend on which amino acids are in the peptide.
What does each codon code for?
Each codon codes for a specific amino acid, which is a building block of proteins. The sequence of codons in mRNA determines the sequence of amino acids in a protein. There are 64 possible codons, with 61 coding for amino acids and 3 serving as stop codons to signal the end of protein synthesis.
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.
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.
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.
For any one codon there can be only one what?
For any one codon, there can be only one amino acid that it codes for. Each codon in the genetic code corresponds to a specific amino acid, ensuring that the correct sequence of amino acids is produced during protein synthesis.
How many amino acids will be in the polypeptide that is formed when uacguacguucaacu is translated?
Five. Each codon consists of a sequence of three nitrogen bases, and each codon codes for a specific amino acid, or a start or stop command.
For which specific amino acid does each codon code in the genetic code?
Each codon in the genetic code codes for a specific amino acid. For example, the codon "AUG" codes for the amino acid methionine.
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".
How many codons are incolved ina polypeoptide that has 5 amino acids?
Simple answer FIVE. Each codon is made up of links. There are three links to the codon. Each codon codes for a single amino acid. A polypeptide is a string of amino acids. The term is usually used for smaller polypeptide chains. Larger chains are usually referred to as proteins although not all proteins are simply polypeptides. Heomoglobin, for example, contains a heme group.
How many codons would be needed if a bacterial protein contains 150 amino acids?
1. the start codon 2. 150 codons, 1 for each amino acid 3. the stop codon The total number of different codons is 64...if this question is asking about unique codons used the answer will depend on which amino acids are in the peptide.
How do nucleotides translate into amino acids?
Nucleotides in messenger RNA (mRNA) are read in sets of three, known as codons. Each codon corresponds to a specific amino acid. Transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules recognize the codons on the mRNA and bring the corresponding amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis. This process is called translation.
What is the amino sequence of the protein that was formed?
In order to answer this question, you must, and prpbably do have the codon sequences of the RNA or DNA, and a chart saying what each codon codes for in terms of amino acids. The mRNA from transcription is what the sheet probably has on it, with each codon contained therin signaling a certain amino acid. If you can post the sequence or something like that, then ill sertainly answer it for you.
