- What is a codon?arrow_forwardDescribe the experiment that allowed researchers to first identify the codon for a specific amino acid.arrow_forwardUsing the information in Table 22-2, determine the possible codons for each of the following amino acids? a. Tyrosine b. Alanine c. Leu d. Cysarrow_forward
- Using the information in Table 22-2, determine what amino acid is coded for by each of the following codons. a. GUA b. CCC c. CAC d. CCAarrow_forwardThe codon UAA stops protein synthesis. Why does the sequence UAA in the following stretch of mRNA not cause any problems?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
