(1 point)
Uracil Cytosine Adenine Guanine
First Base

Second Base

Third Base

Question 6

Answer 1

Methionine (Met) is coded by the codon AUG.

Using the codon chart, we can determine that:

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

So the bases that will code for Methionine are:

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