How many nucleotides in messenger RNA's sequence makes a codon for an amino acid?
How many nucleotides in messenger RNA's sequence makes a codon for an amino acid?
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is A Three
A sequence of three nucleotides in messenger RNA makes a codon for an amino acid. A codon is a sequence of three adjacent nucleotides constituting the genetic code that determines the insertion of a specific amino acid in a polypeptide chain during protein synthesis or the signal to stop protein synthesis. A codon is defined by the initial nucleotide from which translation starts.
