A codon is the three letter combination of the three nucleotides that form a single unit of DNA. They are A, G, C and U and are repeatable, giving 64 possible combinations. ACC is the codon that refers to the amino acid Threonine, or The for short.

∙ 14y agoThe mRNA its self does not code for any thing. it only contains the base pairs. I this case it contains ACC.
Using http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_code it says that ACC codes for Threonine.
my opinion: not many people know what each codon codes for off by heart. using the site above you can work out what each codon codes for in the future

It is impossible for the codon to code for threonine in a human?
Threonine is coded by the codons ACU, ACA, ACC, and ACG. When copying questions directly from your homework, please rephrase it with sufficient information as to allow it to be properly answered.If the question is:If the mRNA codon ACC stands for the amino acid threonine in a striped bass, it is impossible for the codon to code for the same amino acid in a human?The answer is "False". ACC codes for the amino acid Threonine regardless of the organism in which it occurs.

How might one missing nucleotide or the insertion of one additional nucleotide in a DNA strand alter the formation of the translated protein?
Deletion of just one nucleotide in a protein-coding part of a gene will cause a "frameshift mutation." Since the nucleotides are read in groups of three (codons) along the gene, the groupings will change and the protein that results is likely to be completely different.

Why is the mRNA code for amino acids said to be redundant?
The code for creating amino acids is said to be redundant because some codons code for the same amino acid (i.e. there is redundancy because several codons have the same function). For example, the RNA codons AAA and AAG both code for the amino acid Lysine. The codons ACU, ACC, ACA and ACG all code for Threonine.
