A sequence of how many nucleotides in messenger RNA makes a condon for an amino acid

A

Three

B

Four

C

One

D

Two

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The sequence of bases in mRNA are read in a serial order in groups of three at a time. Each triplet of nucleotides ( having specific sequence of bases ) is known as codon. Each codon specifies one amino acid. Further since , there are four bases , therefore , `4^(3) = 64` triplets or codons are possible.
