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

    A) Three                           

    B) Four

    C) One                             

    D) Two

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [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 a 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.
