UGA stands for Threonine. UGG stands for Threonine. Nothing would change. This is none as a silent mutation.

^ actually, according to my chart, UGA is a stop codon and UGG stands for TRYPTOPHAN (not threonine), also UGG is the ONLY codon that codes for tryptophan, so it isn't a silent mutation, either. the correct answer is that the peptide will be longer than normal.

Changing the codon UGA to UGG would result in a different amino acid being incorporated into the protein during translation. UGA normally functions as a stop codon, signaling the end of protein synthesis. However, UGG codes for the amino acid tryptophan, so the change could lead to the addition of tryptophan in the protein sequence instead of terminating translation.

Are amino acid that are represented by one codon?
Yes, there are two amino acids that are represented by a single codon. Methionine is coded for by the start codon AUG, and tryptophan is coded for by the codon UGG.
What do codons UGG and AUG have in common?
Both codons UGG and AUG are start codons that initiate the process of translation in protein synthesis. AUG codes for the amino acid methionine, which is typically the first amino acid in a protein sequence. UGG codes for the amino acid tryptophan.
What is the sequence of bases of the mrna for tacaaatttgcaaccact?
TAC AAA TTT GCA ACC ACT (DNA) AUG UUU AAA CGU UGG UGA (mRNA)
Which amino acid was never coded for?
Several amino acids are not coded for in biology. 20 are. The two standard amino acids are selenocysteine and pyrrolysine. Then there are the numerous non-standard amino acids, which include hydroxyproline and selenomethionine.
Why does mrna mutation affect the amino acid sequence?
The codon UGU codes for the amino acid Cysteine. The codon UGG codes for the amino acid Tryptophan. Therefore the mutation will cause the amino acid Cysteine to be replaced with Tryptophan. These amino acids are quite different, and the final shape of the protein could be changed as a result. This could affect the function of the protein.
What is the codon for trytophan?
The codon for tryptophan is UGG.
Which codon specifies tryptophan?
UGG
What are 2 amino acids that are represented by only one codon?
Methionine (Met) is represented by the codon AUG, which also serves as the start codon. Tryptophan (Trp) is represented by the codon UGG.
Are amino acid that are represented by one codon?
Yes, there are two amino acids that are represented by a single codon. Methionine is coded for by the start codon AUG, and tryptophan is coded for by the codon UGG.
What do codons UGG and AUG have in common?
Both codons UGG and AUG are start codons that initiate the process of translation in protein synthesis. AUG codes for the amino acid methionine, which is typically the first amino acid in a protein sequence. UGG codes for the amino acid tryptophan.
What two amino acids are represented with only one codon?
They are triptopan and methionine.Codons are UGG and AUG respectively.
Which amino acids have only one codon?
Methionine and Tryptophan have only one codon each: AUG for Methionine and UGG for Tryptophan.

What are the 2 amino acids that are each represented by one codon?
No such situation exists. The exasperatingly complex and interwoven Cellular World cannot allow such discrepancies to exist. There is an applicable Answer, (such as comparing Met & f-Met) but not to this Q'n. HFY Here for you.

What is the difference between Ugg Australia and Australian UGG?
UGG Australia is brand name/ trademark. Australian UGG is a type of boots, which looks like most "UGG Australia" boots. Some manufacturers uses the word "UGG" to fake "UGG Australia".
