Use the codon chart below to determine the bases that will code for the amino acid Methionine (Met).

Question

(1 point)
Uracil Cytosine Adenine Guanine
First Base

Second Base

Third Base

Answer 1

Methionine (Met) is coded by the codon AUG. In terms of the individual bases:

• First Base: Adenine (A)
• Second Base: Uracil (U)
• Third Base: Guanine (G)

So, the bases that code for Methionine are:

• First Base: A
• Second Base: U
• Third Base: G
