Question
The mRNA codon of valine is:
Explanation
Genetic code dictionary shows valine encoded by four synonymous codons differing at third base: GUU, GUC, GUA, and GUG. Each starts with GU, consistent with degeneracy and wobble. UGG encodes tryptophan, CCA proline, and TTG is not standard mRNA codon.
