How to Read a Codon Chart

This video tutorial explains how to read codon charts to determine amino acids in protein synthesis. It covers the basics of codons, mRNA, and tRNA, and demonstrates how to use both rectangular and circular codon charts. The video also highlights common pitfalls and provides practice exercises to reinforce learning.
