Question

In studies using repeating copolymers, AC . . . incorporates threonine and histidine, and CAACAA . . . incorporates glutamine, asparagine, and threonine. What triplet code can definitely be assigned to threonine?

Answer 1

Answer:

ACA

Explanation:

From the repeating polymer

ACACA one can say that threonine is either CAC or ACA.

From the polymer CAACAA with ACACA, CA is the only codon in common.

So therefore, threonine will have the codon ACA.
