Answer:

Explanation:

Codons describe the triplet sequence of bases present in an mRNA that code for proteins. They do this by specifying specific amino acids.

To answer this question, we need to know the genetic code. This can be found in various formats (usually tables) online or in textbooks. An example is attached.

Threonine is an amino acid with the three letter code Thr, and the one letter code T.

As you can see in the table, 4 codons (ACU, ACC, ACA, ACG) code for threonine

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

The question that can be answered with the F2 cross would be if the yellow flower color is dominant over the red flower color in the species. In other words, whether the inheritance of flower color follows a simple Mendelian inheritance or otherwise can be answered.

Assuming that the inheritance of the flower color follows the Mendelian pattern, the red flower trait would re-emerge among the F2 offspring and the ratio of yellow to red flower offspring would approximately be equal to 3:1. Otherwise, a more complex pattern of inheritance would be involved.
