Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A triplet code is a sequence of three nucleotides that codes for a specific amino acid or serves as a stop signal during protein synthesis. This sequence is also referred to as a codon. Therefore, the best choice for the term that is another name for triplet code is E – codon. A promoter is a region of DNA that initiates transcription, an enhancer is a DNA sequence that enhances the transcription of a particular gene, tRNA is a type of RNA molecule that carries amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis, and a factor may refer to a variety of proteins or molecules involved in gene regulation or signal transduction. However, none of these terms are synonymous with triplet code.
