Certain amino acids are encoded by more than one codon The t

Certain amino acids are encoded by more than one codon. The table below shows the number of different codons in the second column that encode a particular amino acid. The third column of the table shows the frequency of the amino acid in all protein-coding regions of DNA for a hypothetical bacterial species.

1. What is the correlation between the number of different codons of an amino acid and the frequency of the amino acid in proteins for this bacteria?

2. What information would best further the understanding of the relationship between the number of amino acid codons and their frequency in proteins?

Solution

as is clear from the data the amino acids coded by sinlgle codon shows more frequency and amino acids coded by multiple codons show less frequency ... here one increases other decreases ...

So this possibly is the case of NEGATIVE CORELATION

Regarding what would further help in understanding the process

it would be

THE FREQUENCIES OF EACH INDIVIDUAL CODON

Hope it helps ... feel free to comment and discuss ... Regards
