Each combination of three nitrogen bases on messenger RNA forms a (an)
|
|
anticodon
|
|
|
codon
|
|
|
enzyme
|
|
|
nucleic acid

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Codons are made up of any triplet combination of the four nitrogenous bases adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), or uracil (U).
Detailed explanation-2: -Each combinations of nitrogen bases on the mRNA molecule is a codon, which is a three letter code for a specific amino acid.
Detailed explanation-3: -A set of three bases makes up a codon. The messenger RNA contains many such codons, with a series of three bases followed by three more bases, and then three more bases, and so on.
Detailed explanation-4: -There are three termination codons that are employed at the end of a protein-coding sequence in mRNA: UAA, UAG, and UGA.
