Assertion: codon | /r/CapableOf | code for same amino acid
Facets:
value: during translation
type: TEMPORAL
value: due to redundancy in the genetic code
type: CAUSE
value: over the others
type: OTHER
Source sentences:
text: Many codons are degenerate or redundant, meaning that two or more codons may code for the same amino acid.
text: The codons encoding one amino acid may differ in any of their three positions.
text: During the process of translation, the codon is able to code for an amino acid that is incorporated into a polypeptide chain.
text: While each codon can code for only one amino acid, multiple codons can code for the same amino acid.
text: Degeneracy at the second position of the codon is not observed for codons encoding amino acids.
text: A codon is a 3-nucleotide sequence which codes for an amino acid.
text: a codon is a set of 3 nucleotide bases of the DNA strand that codes for one amino acid.
text: The genetic codes of different organisms are often biased towards using one of the several codons that encode the same amino acid over the others—
text: There are 64 different codons (61 codons encoding for amino acids and 3 stop codons) but only 20 different translated amino acids.
text: What kind of a mutation results in a codon that still codes for the same amino acid due to redundancy in the genetic code and therefore does not change the polypeptide sequence?
text: This table shows the 20 amino acids used in proteins, and the codons that code for each amino acid.
text: However, if you are asking if a codon can code for more than one amino acid, the answer is no (but there are exceptions).
text: You can use the codon usage table to find the preferred synonymous codons according to the frequency of codons that code for the same amino acid (synonymous codons).
text: Many codons are redundant, meaning that two or more codons can code for the same amino acid.
text: The codons encoding one amino acid may differ in any of their three positions; however, more often than not, this difference is in the second or third position.
text: codons are on mRNA and they code for an amino acid during translation
text: However one codon can only code for only one amino acid.
