A Codon is a Three-Base Sequence Of

Question

A codon is a three-base sequence of
A) mRNA that codes for an amino acid.
B) rRNA that codes for an amino acid.
C) tRNA that codes for an amino acid.
D) DNA that codes for an amino acid.
E) amino acids.

Accepted Answer

Codons are sequences of three nucleotides in mRNA that code for a specific amino acid during the process of protein synthesis. Therefore, option A is the correct choice. The other options do not accurately describe the function of codons.
