Question
Chapter 26, Problem 26.27P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The amino acids which have the most possible and the fewest codons are to be stated.
Concept Introduction:
Codons are the sequence of three bases in mRNA that specifies the amino acid to be incorporated into a protein. Start codon is a codon that specifies the start of RNA translation. Stop codon is a codon that specifies the end of RNA translation. There are mainly three stop codons UGA, UAA and UAG.
