No. Amino acids are not always represented by only one codon. Several may code for one amino acid.

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
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 can only 4 bases in rna carry instructions for 20 amino acids?
Transfer RNA comes in sets of three bases. You can arrange four different things into a large number different sets of three. Each combination of bases in Transfer RNA codes for a different amino acid.
Why is it possible for an amino acid to be specified by more then one kind of codon?
Im pretty sure its "Some codons have the same sequence of nucleotides" It keeps repeating nucleotides over and over in the paragraph in my textbook. Mine just goes "Because there are four different bases, there are 64 possible three-base codons. As you can see [it shows genetic code chart], some amino acids can be specified by more than one codon. So I kind of think it has to do with there being so many possibilites.
The 20 amino acids vary only in their?
lipid groups
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
What are 2 amino acids that are represented by only one codon?
Tryptophan (TRP) and Methionine (MET).
What two amino acids are represented with only one codon?
They are triptopan and methionine.Codons are UGG and AUG respectively.
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.
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.
All amino acids are specified by only one codon?
No. Some are specified by only one codon eg. methionine and tryptophan. But some have more than one codon eg. threonine.
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.
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".
Is it possible for mutations to go unnoticed in mRNA?
Yes it is. There are more triplet codons than there are [biologically active] amino acids that need to be represented in the Cell, so that there is some duplication of codon/amino acid 'alignment'. This occurs only in the third base position of the triplet codon - the 'wobble base' position - so if a mutation occurred in the wobble (third) position and the codon was one of the few that was not alone in its amino acid specificity this mutation would go unnoticed.
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 about the degenracy of genetic code?
Type your answer here... the degenracy of code means there are more than one codons for one amino acid.The opposite of it ie.non-degeneracy of codon means ther is only one codon for one amino acid.
True or false A codon signifies either a specific amino acid or a stop signal?
It is false that all amino acids are specified by only one codon. The codon is simply the language that is used to relay information concerning the messenger ribosomal nucleic acid.
