Detailed explanation-1: -Each codon corresponds to a single amino acid (or stop signal), and the full set of codons is called the genetic code. The genetic code includes 64 possible permutations, or combinations, of three-letter nucleotide sequences that can be made from the four nucleotides.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: tRNA read RNA nucleotides in a triplet. One codon corresponds to three nucleotides. One codon translates to one amino acid.
Detailed explanation-3: -Group I amino acids are glycine, alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, proline, phenylalanine, methionine, and tryptophan. The R groups of these amino acids have either aliphatic or aromatic groups. This makes them hydrophobic (“water fearing”).
Detailed explanation-4: -Three codons are needed to specify three amino acids. Codons can be described as messengers that are located on the messenger RNA (mRNA). It is a sequence of three nucleotides that code for one specific amino acid; therefore, every three nucleotides represent one codon.
Detailed explanation-5: -Hidden within the genetic code lies the “triplet code, ” a series of three nucleotides that determine a single amino acid.
