Q27 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2009 · Chemistry

A codon has a sequence of $\underline{A}$, and specifies a particular $\underline{B}$ that is to be incorporated into a $\underline{C}$. What are $\underline{A}, \underline{B}, \underline{C}$ ? $\underline{A} \quad \underline{B} \quad \underline{C}$

  • A
    3 bases amino acid carbohydrate
  • B
    3 acids carbohydrate protein
  • C
    3 bases protein amino acid
  • Correct answer
    D
    3 bases amino acid protein

Solution

A codon is a specific sequence of three adjacent bases on a strand of DNA or RNA that provides genetic code information for a particular amino acid.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
