Question

Which amino acid has only a single genetic code?

Answer 1

Genetic codons:

1. The information available with DNA is in form of Codons.
2. Codons appear in a triplet.
3. These triplets code for amino acids.
4. These Triplets of codons are referred to as Genetic codes.
5. These amino acids then form proteins.
6. There are a total of twenty amino acids.
7. From which only two amino acids have a single codon triplet.
8. Other than these two, all other amino acids contain multiple triplets of the codon.
9. Methionine and Tryptophan are the amino acids that can be coded by a single codon triplet.
10. The codon for Methionine is AUG.
11. The codon for Tryptophan is UGG.
