Detailed explanation-1: -Figure 1: In mRNA, three-nucleotide units called codons dictate a particular amino acid.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -A sequence of three consecutive nucleotides in a DNA or RNA molecule that codes for a specific amino acid. Certain codons signal the start or end of translation. These are called start or stop (or termination) codons.
