Using the codon circle chart on the left, decipher the three amino acids that it represents: GGU GGA UGG.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking to use a codon chart to determine which amino acids correspond to the given codon sequences. This involves genetic translation from mRNA codons to their respective amino acids.
Answer
Glycine, Glycine, Tryptophan
The amino acids represented by the codons GGU, GGA, and UGG are Glycine, Glycine, and Tryptophan, respectively.
Answer for screen readers
The amino acids represented by the codons GGU, GGA, and UGG are Glycine, Glycine, and Tryptophan, respectively.
More Information
Codons GGU and GGA both code for Glycine, while UGG uniquely codes for Tryptophan.
Tips
Be careful not to confuse similar codons, as a single nucleotide change can result in a different amino acid.
