What else can I help you with?
Does every codon represent an amino acid?
No, not every codon represents an amino acid. There are several codons known as "stop" codons (UGA, UAA, UAG) that do not code for an amino acid; instead they code for the termination of translation.
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.
What does the amino acid ucg stand for?
The codon UGC refers to Cysteine, which consists of Uracil, Glycine and Cytosine in sequence
When a protein is synthesized what amino acid is always the first amino acid that is positioned during any protein synthesis?
"AUG" actually corresponds to a region of code on mRNA and is NOT an amino acid. The tRNA that has the anticodon 5' CAU 3' and recognizes AUG is a tRNA charged with Methionine. Therefore, methionine is the first amino acid incorporated into a growing polypeptide. Note this is true for only eukaryotes, prokaryotes have N-formyl methionine as their first amino acid.
Where does the amino acid table use the code from?
I'm unsure what your question means, but if I interpreted correctly, the codes on the amino acid table are codons. So they are the codes that would be found on the mRNA. If you are looking up an amino acid on the table, just use the one it says under the codon you want to translate. For example, if the codon is AUG, the amino acid is just methionine. No need to do anything more.
For which specific amino acid does each codon code in the genetic code?
Each codon in the genetic code codes for a specific amino acid. For example, the codon "AUG" codes for the amino acid methionine.
What amino acid is encoded by the initiation codon AUG?
The amino acid that is encoded by the initiation codon AUG is methionine. It is the only amino acid which is specified by just one codon.
Does every codon represent an amino acid?
No, not every codon represents an amino acid. There are several codons known as "stop" codons (UGA, UAA, UAG) that do not code for an amino acid; instead they code for the termination of translation.
Which codon is the code for the amino acid histidine?
It is CAC and CAU.
What is the specific codon that codes for the amino acid tryptophan in the genetic code?
The specific codon that codes for the amino acid tryptophan in the genetic code is "UGG."
What do those two codons code for in carrots?
I have no idea
What codon is the code for the amino acid histidine His?
The mRNA codons for histidine are CAU and CAC.
What does the codon GGG code for?
The codon GGG codes for the amino acid glycine.
The codon GAU is for?
GAU is the codon.
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 does the amino acid UAC code for?
Phenylalanine.
How many nucleotides are required to encode one amino acid?
A codon, or a 3-base code is required to code for one amino acid.
