Codon Chart BIO.3C.2 [VIDEO]

What is the function of a codon chart?

• To determine the sequence of amino acids in a protein

• To determine the sequence of DNA bases

• To determine the sequence of RNA bases

• To determine the sequence of nucleotides in a gene

Which amino acid does the codon AUG code for?

• Leucine

• Methionine

• Valine

• Phenylalanine

What is the anticodon for the tRNA corresponding to the codon CCA?

• AGG

• CCA

• GGU

• UUG

Which amino acid does the codon GUC code for?

• Proline

• Leucine

• Serine

• Valine

What is the amino acid that the tRNA corresponding to the codon UUC would carry?

• Valine

• Leucine

• Phenylalanine

• Proline

What does the mRNA codon UAA stand for?

• Leucine

• Phenylalanine

• Stop

• Valine

What is one pitfall to avoid when reading a codon chart?

• Not practicing enough

• Getting stuck on the circular codon chart

• Using the DNA template instead of the mRNA codon

• Using the tRNA anticodon instead of the mRNA codon

Using the circular codon chart, which two codons code for lysine?
