Do we need to memorize the GENETIC CODE?!

[heatwheat]

I was just reading AP Cliffs, and looking at the Genetic Code Diagram, and thought, "Do we need to memorize this thing?" So I was wondering what you guys think?

Of course not, we probably don't even need to know the start and stop codons...DAT is definately not the type to ask something like this...

Yeah you should memorize the entire thing. That would be a very good way to use your time studying.

all I remember is AUG is a start codon - not sure why I remember this, but I figure I could pass it on....

UGA
UAA
UAG
Stop Codons

All right, sweet. I was just wondering since it is in the Kaplan BB, AP Cliffs, and Campbells.

I believe you only need to know the start and stop codons ( I strongly recommend to learn them)

I am writing some mnemonics that I remember:

Start: InAUGuration of the syntheis of proteins.

Stop codons: U G A (U Go Away)
U A A (U Are Away)
U A G (U are Gone)
