One. A codon, made up of three DNA bases (ATG, for example) corresponds to one amino acid. A whole bunch of codons strung together on the DNA corresponds to a whole bunch of amino acids, ultimately strung together to form a peptide, or protein.

∙ 9y agoOne codon is equal to 1 amino acid. To arrive there, one codon equals three nucleotides and three nucleotides equals one amino acid.

3 DNA bases=>3 mRNA bases=>3 tRNA bases.
The 3 tRNA bases=1 codon=1 amino acid.

Are amino acid that are represented by one codon?
yes, but there are amino acids can be represented by many codons.
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
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.
What does amino acid plus amino acid equal?
An amino acid is one of twenty one compounds that have a carboxylic acid and an amine group. When they combine, they form proteins.
How codons are used to build protein?
Aside from starting and stopping the translation process each codon triplet is the code for one amino acid. As there are 64 codons the amino acid code is redundant. So, ACU, could be the code for one amino acid in the mRNA coding sequence. Google codon table.
How many codons to bring in one amino acid?
One codon.
If you want one amino acid how many codons will you need?
To obtain one amino acid, you generally need one codon. Each codon consists of three nucleotides, which encode for a specific amino acid during the process of protein synthesis. There are exceptions due to redundancy and the possibility of multiple codons coding for the same amino acid, but in most cases, one amino acid is encoded by one codon.

What is an advantage of having multiple codons for a single amino acid?
Sometimes, one-nucleotide transcription errors don't change the amino acid specified.
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.
What is the number of codons that actually specify amino acids is?
61. there are 64 total codon arrangements. However three of those (UAA, UAG, UGA) are STOP codons and in turn do not call for the tRNA to bind a protein. Rather, these 3 codons call for termination of translation. The START condon in RNA is UAG, with calls for the amino acid (Met'). It is important to remember that even though there are 61 codons that call for amino acids, only 20 amino acids are available. This means that more than one codon can call for the same amino acid which brings about the REDUNDANT characteristic of codons. However they are NOT AMBIGUOUS, meaning that a codon cannot call for several different amino acids. Serveral codons can call for the same amino acid, but each codon can only call for ONE specific amino acid.
What is a codon used for?
A codon is a 3-nucleotide sequence which codes for an amino acid. This basically means codons help to form polypeptide changes since each one codes for an amino acid. hope that helps :)
There can be more than one what for the same amino acid?
The three base pairs called codons.
What does amino acid plus amino acid equal?
An amino acid is one of twenty one compounds that have a carboxylic acid and an amine group. When they combine, they form proteins.
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.
The genetic code for one amino acid molecule consists of?
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.
