Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -As we saw above, the genetic code is based on triplets of nucleotides called codons, which specify individual amino acids in a polypeptide (or “stop” signals at its end).
Detailed explanation-2: -The genetic code is a set of three-letter combinations of nucleotides called codons, each of which corresponds to a specific amino acid or stop signal. The concept of codons was first described by Francis Crick and his colleagues in 1961.
Detailed explanation-3: -Groups of three bases form codons, and each codon stands for one amino acid (or start or stop). The codons are read in sequence following the start codon until a stop codon is reached. The genetic code is universal, unambiguous, and redundant.
