Concept explainers
a.
To determine:
The amino acid corresponding to codon
Introduction:
The genetic code is a universal code, which means that all the cells in each organism uses the same code for a particular amino acid. Each codon is responsible for a particular amino acid, but an amino acid can be decoded from one or more codons.
