Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A 3 nucleotide sequence of mRNA
A
codon
B
anticodon
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Each group of three consecutive nucleotides in RNA is called a codon, and each codon specifies either one amino acid or a stop to the translation process.

Detailed explanation-2: -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). There are 64 different codons: 61 specify amino acids and 3 are used as stop signals.
