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

Options:

Answer:

Solution:

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) in known as codon. Each codon specifies one amino acid. Further since, there are four bases. therefore, $4^{3} = 64$ triplets or codons are possible.
