UAG
They are stop codons and do not code for any amino acids.
No. Amino acids are not always represented by only one codon. Several may code for one amino acid.

There are 64 codons (3-base code) that represent 20 amino acids and 3 stop signals. Click on the related link to see a table of DNA codons and the amino acids for which they code.
peptides which are constructed from amino-acids
Amino acids are called amino acids because they contain an amino group (-NH2) and a carboxyl group (-COOH) in their chemical structure. These two functional groups are essential for the formation of proteins and are characteristic of all amino acids.
No, they code for amino acids (in sequence).

The codons AAG, AGA, and UGU correspond to the amino acids lysine (Lys), arginine (Arg), and cysteine (Cys), respectively. Therefore, the amino acid chain formed by these codons will be Lys-Arg-Cys.
