Solution

Triplet of mRNA:

  1. It is a sequence of three nucleotides present in the mRNA, which is commonly called a codon or genetic code.
  2. A protein is made up of small units called amino acids that are arranged in sequence inside the protein structure.
  3. The triplet codon is required for the formation of a specific amino acid in the protein.
  4. In other words, during translation/protein synthesis, the formation of amino acids in a protein takes place due to the triplet codon.
