codon

|
anticodon
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -This sequence is broken into a series of three-nucleotide units known as codons (Figure 1). The three-letter nature of codons means that the four nucleotides found in mRNA-A, U, G, and C-can produce a total of 64 different combinations.
Detailed explanation-2: -Definition. A codon is a DNA or RNA sequence of three nucleotides (a trinucleotide) that forms a unit of genomic information encoding a particular amino acid or signaling the termination of protein synthesis (stop signals).
Detailed explanation-3: -There are three termination codons that are employed at the end of a protein-coding sequence in mRNA: UAA, UAG, and UGA.
