Title: Can anyone help me in this problem please

DNA is transcribed to messenger RNA (mRNA), and the mRNA is translated to proteins on the ribosomes. A sequence of three nucleotides on an mRNA molecule is called a codon. As you can see in the table, most codons specify a particular amino acid to be added to the growing protein chain. In addition, one codon (shown in blue) codes for the amino acid methionine and functions as a “start” signal. Three codons (shown in red) do not code for amino acids, but instead function as “stop” signals.
 
Part A - Understanding the genetic code
Use the table to sort the following ten codons into one of the three bins, according to whether they code for a start codon, an in-sequence amino acid, or a stop codon.
Drag each item to the appropriate bin.

HI

If you have specific concepts you need to brush up on, I can give you resources. What did you have in mind?

By the way, did that answer your question? B/c I marked it as solved.
