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.

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.


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.
