Question

Imagine that you were given a codon. It doesn't matter what the letters are here, but let's randomly say it's CCC. What is true about this codon (and any other codon as well)?
• it could code for a number of different amnio acids. • it determines which exons are kept and which introns are cut out. • it could only code for one specific amino acid.

Explanation / Answer

One codon can code for only one amino acid, however, one amino acid can be coded by many different codons. it doesnt determine the splicing activity either.
