Answer:
which of the following???????
a chemical element or substance required in trace amounts for the normal growth and development of living organisms.
So u get a codon chart it'll look like a circle with a bunch of letters. Then you use the letters u are given for every dash such as UCU and you go biggest to smallest letter until you hit an amino acid or stop then what you write down is that amino acid you hit. For an example, we'll use UCU. You go to the big letter U inside that big U will be a smaller C and inside that C will be a smaller U which leads to an amino acid or a stop codon. And you do this with every group of 3 letters. If one is missing it stops prematurely and if there is an extra when it may have a mutation. I hope that helped! If not there are YouTube videos out there that can help.
The main reason why carbon atoms are so common in living things is because carbon is a very adaptable element in the sense that its electron configuration allows it to bond with many other atoms.
