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.

Is it impossible for an amino acid to be specified by more than one codon?
No. On the contrary, most amino acids are specified by more than one codon. Click on the related link to see a table of amino acids and their codons from the Algorithmic Arts website.
Are amino acid that are represented by one codon?
yes, but there are amino acids can be represented by many codons.
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".
If one base coded for one amino acid what is the maximum number of codes there will be?
There are 21 amino acids found in eukaryotes. Three bases represent a codon, and each codon codes for one amino acid.
How many codons are needed to specify 2 amino acids?
each codon have 3 nitrogenous bases . 3 nitrogenous bases = 1 amino acid or say 1 codon =1 amino acid ,so 2 codon = 2 amino acid
Is it impossible for an amino acid to be specified by more than one codon?
No. On the contrary, most amino acids are specified by more than one codon. Click on the related link to see a table of amino acids and their codons from the Algorithmic Arts website.
How many amino acids does a codon contain?
One amino acid per codon!
How do nucleotides translate into amino acids?
A codon of nucleotides codes for an amino acid. The combination of nucleotides in a codon determines the amino acid the codon makes.
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 do amino acids specify codons?
Nucleutoides.
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.
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.
What are the differences between codon anticodon?
Codons are three bases on mRNA which go to the ribosome which translates into amino acids. The amino acids are attached to tRNA which has the anticodon on it which will bind to the codon on the mRNA. This is how the ribosome picks out the correct amino acid. the tRNA with the anti codon just binds to the codon and the amino acids start binding together via peptide bonds.
What is the name of the process where RNA codon is read and the tRNA anti-codon brings amino acids to the codon?
Transcription
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
