Solution
The correct option is B Codons
- Translation takes place in the cytoplasm.
- The mRNA interacts with the ribosome, which "reads" the sequence of mRNA bases.
- Each sequence of three bases, called a codon, usually codes for one particular amino acid. (Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.)
- A type of RNA called transfer RNA (tRNA) assembles the protein, one amino acid at a time.
- Protein assembly continues until the ribosome encounters a “stop” codon (a sequence of three bases that does not code for an amino acid).
So, the correct answer is 'Codons'
