Periodic Table Question 8 of 62 Map A Sapling Learning Each codon on the mRNA represents an amino acid. Why is the genetic code on the mRNA composed of triplet codons How many codons could instead of doublet codons? if each codon was two bases long? possible with triplets allow each amino acid to be specified by four Number The triplet codons provide 1 codon for each amino acid as well codons as producing many unused codons. Triplets produce 64 codons, which are enough to provide at least one codon for each of the 20 amino acids There are 21 codons possible with triplets, which provides one codon for each amino acid and one stop codon. sa ul on Check Answer 0 Next Exit Previous
