RNA CODON CHART. HOW TO USE CODAN CHART TO DETERMINE AMINO ACID SEQUENCE. What is a codon?. Sequence of three bases on mRNA that codes for an amino acid: mRNA CODONS WITH AMINO ACIDS AUG – CCU – AAC – GUA – UGA start – proline – asparagine – valine – stop PROTEIN

RNA CODON CHART HOW TO USE CODAN CHART TO DETERMINE AMINO ACID SEQUENCE
What is a codon? • Sequence of three bases on mRNA that codes for an amino acid: • mRNA CODONS WITH AMINO ACIDS AUG – CCU – AAC– GUA – UGA start – proline – asparagine – valine – stop PROTEIN (Chain of amino acids)
Codon/amino acids chart • The chart in the next slide is used to identify the codons that represent the 20 amino acids. • It is universal, meaning that it is used by all scientists.
