AGT codes for the amino acid serine and CTT codes for the amino acid leucine.
No, a sequence of three bases (called a codon) does not directly form an amino acid. However, each codon in a sequence of DNA or RNA corresponds to a specific amino acid, according to the genetic code. The sequence of codons determines the order in which amino acids are assembled during protein synthesis.
Transamination
glutamine This is the side chain amidated form of Glutamate, so it is quite polar but carries no formal electrical charge when present in a polypeptide. You can find a good introductory description of the amino acids, their structures and classification, at this web site www.bio.davidson.edu/Biology/aatable.html
It provides the code for the protein.

From a nucleic acid code to an amino acid code
There are 3 nitrogen bases equalling one amino acid and they are called codons. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein and in turn protein in science is one of the building blocks of life. The protein molecule has the chromosome strands. On each strand of the chromosome there are shapes in groups of 3 which is the RNA or the Ribonucleic Acid. Where the chromosomes are located, the strands have messengers that travel outside to the ribosomes to be decoded or decyphered. Once the RNA has been decoded by the ribosomes the amino acid is formed. The chronological order of the amino acid being decyphered determines the type of protein. Protein is essential for human growth as it helps with the repair of our muscles amoungst many of it's uses.

No, but steroids are made form amino acids.
Special Compounds
The anionic form of an amino acid is called a zwitterion, which has a positively charged amino group and a negatively charged carboxyl group.
The bases, taken three at a time, form triplets known as codons that each represent one amino acid. Since there are four bases, there are 4^3 = 64 possible codons, each of which represents one of 20 amino acids. Thus the code has built-in redundancy, i.e., some codes can be altered by mutation without affecting which amino acid is coded for.

When two amino acids come together, they form a dipeptide through a chemical reaction called a peptide bond. This bond joins the carboxyl group of one amino acid to the amino group of another, resulting in the loss of a water molecule in the process.
