TTA, TTG, CTT, CTC, CTA, CTG

Explanation:

A codon is a combination of three nucleotides that code for one amino acid.

Nucleotides are the molecules that make up the base pairs in DNA, and can be thymine, cytosine, guanine or adenine. In RNA, instead of having thymine, it has uracil.

You can find the coda for each amino acid by looking at a DNA codon table.
