Write the CODON that corresponds with each amino acid. There may be more than one. The full names are written, but the codon chart only shows the first three letters. proline ______ glycine valine phenylalanine histidine arginine _

In protein synthesis, different mRNA codons produce different amino acids by the translation process with the help of ribosomes and tRNA. These mRNA sequences are read in sets of three which are termed as triplet codons. Specific amino acids are produced by different codons, however, more than one codons code for one amino acid. The given amino acids correspond with the following codons:

Proline: it corresponds with four codons

1. CCT

2. CCC

3. CCA

4. CCG

Glycine: it corresponds with four codons

Phenylalanine: it corresponds with two codons
