What does the codon table represent?
Understand the Problem
The question is likely asking about the codon table, which displays the codons corresponding to various amino acids and stop signals in protein synthesis.
Answer
The codon table translates genetic code into amino acids.
The codon table represents the genetic code; it maps each mRNA codon to its corresponding amino acid or a stop signal, directing protein synthesis.
Answer for screen readers
The codon table represents the genetic code; it maps each mRNA codon to its corresponding amino acid or a stop signal, directing protein synthesis.
More Information
Codon tables are essential for understanding how the sequence of nucleotides in mRNA is converted to a sequence of amino acids during protein synthesis.
Tips
Confusing RNA codons with DNA can lead to errors since DNA uses thymine (T) instead of uracil (U).
