Which of the following statements correctly describes a codon? (a) A

1.	Which of the following statements correctly describes a codon? (a) A length of DNA which codes for a particular protein (b) A part of the transfer RNA molecule to which a specific amino acid is attached (c) A part of the transfer RNA molecule which recognises the triplet code on the messenger RNA (d) A part of the messenger RNA molecule that has a sequence of bases coding for an amino acid
Answer» Correct option is (c) A part of the transfer RNA molecule which recognises the triplet code on the messenger RNA The triplet codon is made up of 3 nucleotide bases and is located at the centre of the middle loop of tRNA molecule and base pairs with the complementary bases on an mRNA molecule during protein synthesis.
