Detailed explanation-1: -They showed that a short mRNA sequence-even a single codon (three bases)-could still bind to a ribosome, even if this short sequence was incapable of directing protein synthesis.
Detailed explanation-2: -A codon consists of 3 bases and there are 4 different kinds of bases in a nucleic acid altogether. There will be atotal of 43 = 64 codons. Q. A codon consists of 3 bases and there are 4 different kinds of bases in a nucleic acid altogether.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -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-5: -Each codon represents a single amino acid. Therefore, nine nucleotide bases are required to code for three amino acids. Note: A genetic code chart represents different combinations of the four nucleotide bases.
