When DNA is being transcribed, it is read in codons. How many bases does each codon contain?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A codon is a sequence of three DNA or RNA nucleotides that corresponds with a specific amino acid or stop signal during protein synthesis.
This can sometimes be confused with the number of nucleotides. There are 4 nucleotides that make up the sequence of DNA, but they are grouped in 3's for transcription.
