Explore the RNA codon chart and learn how to use it to determine amino acid sequences. Understand what codons are, the sequence of three bases on mRNA that code for amino acids, and how different codons correspond to specific amino acids. Discover the significance of codons like AUG, CCU, AAC, GUA, and UGA, representing amino acids such as start, proline, asparagine, valine, and stop in the protein chain. Utilize the universal codon/amino acids chart to decipher the genetic code and unravel the language of DNA. Learn the process of determining amino acids from codons, such as AUG and GUA, finding connections between codons like CAC and their respective amino acids.

RNA CODON CHART HOW TO USE CODAN CHART TO DETERMINE AMINO ACID SEQUENCE
What is a codon? • Sequence of three bases on mRNA that codes for an amino acid: • mRNA CODONS WITH AMINO ACIDS AUG – CCU – AAC– GUA – UGA start – proline – asparagine – valine – stop PROTEIN (Chain of amino acids)
Codon/amino acids chart • The chart in the next slide is used to identify the codons that represent the 20 amino acids. • It is universal, meaning that it is used by all scientists.
