Solution

Part 1: Definition of codon
A triplet nucleotide consisting of three bases is known as codon or genetic code. Each codon codes for a specific amino acid.

Part 2: Sequence of amino acid coded by nucleotides in m-RNA Sequence of mRNA- AUG UUU UUC UUC UUU UUU UUC AUG - codes for Methionine (Met) UUU and UUC codes for Phenylalanine (Phe) Sequence of amino acids - Met- Phe-Phe- Phe-Phe- Phe-Phe
