yes, but there are amino acids can be represented by many codons.

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 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


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.


How many amino acids does a codon contain?

A codon contains three amino acids. Each codon in mRNA corresponds to a specific amino acid in a protein sequence.


For any codon there can only be one?

There is only one corresponding amino acid for each codon. Each codon codes specifically for one amino acid (however, an amino acid can be coded for by several different codons). For example: CAU codes for Histamine (and not any other amino acid) But, CAC also codes for Histamine.


How does a mutation change a codon for one amino acid into a different codon for the same amino acid?

A mutation can change a codon for one amino acid into a different codon for the same amino acid through a process called silent mutation. This type of mutation occurs when a change in the DNA sequence does not alter the amino acid that is coded for, resulting in the same protein being produced.


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.


For any one codon there can be only one what?

For any one codon, there can be only one amino acid that it codes for. Each codon in the genetic code corresponds to a specific amino acid, ensuring that the correct sequence of amino acids is produced during protein synthesis.


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 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.


Is it 1 or 3 codons equal one amino acid?

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.


What is the three letter sequence that codes for an amino acid?

One letter accounts for one nitrogen base, which is part of a codon, which codes for one amino acid.
