Sugar is not an amino acid. Sugar is a carbohydrate.
Look on a chart of mRNA codons to see what amino acids are called for by each of the 64 codons.

Methionine and tryptophane are the only two amino acids that have a single codon.

The question doesn't make sense. Sugar is not encoded by DNA, and thus has no corresponding codon.
Methionine and tryptophan are the only amino acids that have a single codon.

Methionine (AUG) and Tryptophan (UGG)
-AUG also represents the start codon that tells the body when it is looking at amino acid codons and when it is looking at junk DNA
by the way, sugar is not an amino acid
