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

Kruka [31]

Researchers selected candidate genes by identifying homozygous tracts shared by all three siblings along with the parental phenotype, this type of study is applied for the inheritance of recessive genes. Since the recessive genes can not be expressed in heterozygous genotype, the back tracking of carriers and homozygous recessive individual will help understand its inheritance pattern. The inheritance of dyt2 can be autosomal recessive. It is usually passed on to progeny of two carriers.
