Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The nucleotide triplet that encodes an amino acid is called a codon.
Detailed explanation-2: -The relation between codons and amino acids is given by the genetic code. The triplet of bases that is complementary to a codon is called an anti-codon; conventionally, the triplet in the mRNA is called the codon and the triplet in the tRNA is called the anti-codon.
Detailed explanation-3: -It is a sequence of three nucleotides present in the mRNA, which is commonly called a codon or genetic code. A protein is made up of small units called amino acids that are arranged in sequence inside the protein structure.
