What amino acid sequence is encoded by the codon sequence ACGCAGCGCCCGGUC?
Use the 3 letter abbreviation with hyphens and no spaces in between.
Codons in the set CUU, CUC, CUA, and CUG all code for the amino acid leucine. In this set, the first and second bases are identical; the identity of the third base is irrelevant. For what other sets of codons is the third base also irrelevant? For what amino acid(s) does each set code?
The sequence of a polypeptide is determined by the order of codons that specify
the amino acids in the polypeptide. How many different sequences of codons can
specify the polypeptide sequence methionine-histidine-lysine? (Use the table to
find the number of possibilities.)

The glycine anticodon contains the sequence CC, but the 5' base of the anticodon can pair nonspecifically with the 3' base of the codon. The glycine anticodon contains the sequence CC, but the 3' base of the anticodon can pair nonspecifically with the 5' base of the codon.
