Detailed explanation-1: -Each codon codes for 1 amino acids, which in turn, are made by the combination of 3 nitrogen bases.
Detailed explanation-2: -DNA and the corresponding messenger RNA are made up of a series of bases. In RNA, these bases are often labeled with the letters A, U, C, and G. A set of three bases makes up a codon.
Detailed explanation-3: -Codons are made up of any triplet combination of the four nitrogenous bases adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), or uracil (U). Of the 64 possible codon sequences, 61 specify the 20 amino acids that make up proteins and three are stop signals.
Detailed explanation-4: -However, a triplet code produces 64 (43 = 64) possible combinations, or codons.
Detailed explanation-5: -A codon is a sequence of four nitrogenous bases.
