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 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.


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


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.


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 many differnet mrna codes correspond to methionine?

There is only one codon that codes for methionine, which is AUG. This codon also serves as the start codon in mRNA.


What are 2 amino acids that are represented by only one codon?

Methionine (Met) is represented by the codon AUG, which also serves as the start codon. Tryptophan (Trp) is represented by the codon UGG.


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 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.


Does translation always begin with a AUG codon?

No, translation does not always begin with an AUG codon. While the AUG codon is considered the start codon in most cases, there are exceptions where other codons such as GUG or UUG can also initiate translation.


Three nucleotides that together specify one aminoacid?

What is codon and sense codon?

A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides in DNA or RNA that codes for a specific amino acid. A sense codon is a codon that specifies one of the 20 standard amino acids in protein synthesis.
