- If a codon consists of four nucleotides, how many codons would be possible? Would this be workable as an amino-acid code?arrow_forwardDescribe the experiment that allowed researchers to first identify the codon for a specific amino acid.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about the genetic code are true and which are false? Correct each false statement. a.Each codon is composed of four bases. b.Some amino acids are represented by more than one carbon. c.All codons represent an amino acid. d.Each living species is thought to have its own unique genetic code. e.The codon AUG at the beginning of a sequence is a signal for protein synthesis to begin at that codon. f.It is not known if the code contains stop signals for protein synthesis.arrow_forward
