What is the three base sequence of mRNA that codes for a single amino acid?
|
|
Anticodon
|
|
|
Codon
|
|
|
Protein
|
|
|
None of the above
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Each group of three bases in mRNA constitutes a codon, and each codon specifies a particular amino acid (hence, it is a triplet code).
Detailed explanation-2: -The three base sequence on mRNA that matches the triplet of DNA is a codon. A codon is important when the protein translation begins, as the ribosome reads the triplet sequence of RNA in order to choose the correct amino acid to add to the peptide chain.
