The genetic code for one amino acid molecule consists of?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

One

Each codon is made of three bases. Three bases code for one amino acid. There are, however, different codons that code for the same amino acid, but during the process of making a protein, each codon represents one amino acid (or a start or stop signal.)

Answer 3

Each amino acid is represented by 3 bases on the RNA molecule. There are 64 patterns of 3 bases but only 20 amino acids; so some amino acids have more than one pattern, some patterns code for start or stop operations, and some patterns code for nothing.

Answer 4

The genetic code for one amino acid molecule consists of a sequence of three nucleotides called a codon. Each codon corresponds to a specific amino acid which is then incorporated into a protein during the process of translation. There are a total of 64 possible codons representing the 20 different amino acids and three stop signals.

Answer 5

The groups of 3 bases are the codes for specific amino acids.
