    mRNA, codon, amino acid,
    and anticodon.

    Amino acid

    2. When reading a codon chart, unless otherwise specified, you generally use the three bases that are part of the:
    CIRCLE ONE: tRNA anticodon mRNA codon DNA codon DNA anticodon

    3. The codon chart demonstrates that more than one codon can potentially code for the same amino acid.
    CIRCLE ONE: TRUE FALSE

    4. The information in this rectangular codon chart could be represented in a different way (ex: circular codon chart).
