How many codons are needed to specify 2 amino acids?
each codon have 3 nitrogenous bases . 3 nitrogenous bases = 1 amino acid or say 1 codon =1 amino acid ,so 2 codon = 2 amino acid
There can be more than one for the same amino acid?
Yes, multiple codons can code for the same amino acid in the genetic code. This redundancy in the genetic code is known as degeneracy. For example, the amino acid leucine is specified by six different codons: UUA, UUG, CUU, CUC, CUA, and CUG.
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 codons are needed to specify three amino acids 6 or 9?
The answer is nine because one codon has 3 letters.Improved AnswerThe above answer is completely incorrect. The question is how many codons are necessary to specify three amino acids, not bases (letters). As my original answer (which was removed by the previouis contributor) pointed out, each amino acid requires one codon to specify it, so the basic answer is, three codons are necessary to specify any three amino acids. However, if the questioner had in mind how many codons are necessary to specify a polypeptide consisting of three amino acids, the answer is five, because, in addition to the three codons necessary for the amino acids, a start codon of AUG (on the mRNA transcript), and one stop codon (UAG, UGA,or UAA on the mRNA transcipt) are also needed. So, in this sense, five codons are needed to specify a polypeptide of 3 amino acids.Improved Answer: The answer is 9. ^ fail XD
What does an amino acid table show?
An amino acid table shows the 20 standard amino acids along with their three-letter and one-letter abbreviations, chemical structures, and properties such as polarity and charge. It provides a quick reference for researchers and students studying protein structure and function.
How many codons to bring in one amino acid?
One codon.
If you want one amino acid how many codons will you need?
in orger to make one amino acid we require a one triplet base pair nucleotide For example if we have A-G-C as a codons then it will form the complementary anti-codons U-C-G which will give rise to one amino acid at the tail of anti codons. ,Many amino acids join together to form an anti codon
There can be more than one what for the same amino acid?
There can be more than one codon that codes for the same amino acid. This is due to the redundancy of the genetic code, where multiple codons can specify the same amino acid.
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.
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 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 is the ratio of codon to amino acid?
The ratio of codons to amino acids is typically 3:1, as each codon consists of three nucleotides that correspond to one amino acid in the genetic code. However, there are 64 possible codons (including stop codons) but only 20 standard amino acids, which means some amino acids are encoded by multiple codons. This redundancy in the genetic code helps to minimize the effects of mutations.
How many codons are needed to specify 2 amino acids?
each codon have 3 nitrogenous bases . 3 nitrogenous bases = 1 amino acid or say 1 codon =1 amino acid ,so 2 codon = 2 amino acid
