(a)
To determine:
The amino acid sequence that corresponds to the following codon sequence
Introduction:
Amino acids are defined as the basic building blocks of proteins that consist of
(b)
To determine:
The amino acid sequences that corresponds to following codon sequence
Introduction:
Amino acids are defined as the basic building blocks of proteins that consist of amine and carboxyl as a functional group. It is an organic molecule. Proteins are formed of amino acids when smaller units of amino acids are attached to one another with the help of peptide bond to a polypeptide chain.

- Which 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_forwardIf a codon consists of two nucleotides, how many codons would be possible? Would this be a workable code for the purpose of protein synthesis?arrow_forwardDescribe the experiment that allowed researchers to first identify the codon for a specific amino acid.arrow_forward
