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

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

Solution

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

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