Solution

The correct option is D $A -$ 3 bases; $B -$ amino acid; $C -$ protein
A codon has a sequence of A and specifies a particular B that is to be incorporated in to C. A, B, C are
3 bases; amino acid and protein respectively.
A codon has a sequence of 3 bases and specifies a particular amino acid that is to be incorporated in to protein.
Different codes of amino acids appear as GAU, UUU, GUG, CUU, CUC. There are 64 codons.
For example, proline can be narrated as CCU, CCA, CCG or CCC.
