A mRNA molecule can be broken down into three nucleotide units called
A) amino acids
B) bases
C) codons
D) anticodons

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Codons are sequences of three nucleotides that code for a specific amino acid or a stop signal during protein synthesis. Bases are the individual nucleotides that make up DNA and RNA, whereas amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Anticodons are found on tRNA molecules and bind to codons on mRNA during translation to ensure the correct amino acid is added to the growing protein chain.
