In a coding experiment using repeating copolymers (as demonstrated in Table), the following data were obtained:
Copolymer | Codons Produced | Amino Acids in Polypeptide |
AG | AGA, GAG | Arg, Glu |
AAG | AGA, AAG, GAA | Lys, Arg, Glu |
AGG is known to code for arginine. Taking into account the wobble hypothesis, assign each of the four codons produced in the experiment to its correct amino acid.
