Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

  • AUG - methionine
  • UCC - serine
  • CAC - histidine
  • ACA - threonine
  • GUU - valine
  • UGG - tryptophan
  • CCC - proline
  • GGG - glycine

Features of genetic code:-

  • The code is degenerate as some of the amino acids are coded by more than one codon.
  • The code is universal, like in every organism UCC will code for serine .
  • AUG is the start codon, it acts as initiator .
  • UAG , UGA , UAA do not code for any amino acids thus acts as stop codon .
  • So , in total 61 codons code for amino acids and 3 act as stop codon.
