Question

Which of the following is true about codon?
  1. A group of three nucleotide sequences
  2. The nucleotide units between the start and stop codes
  3. The nucleotide sequence that serves as the instructions for a protein
  4. A single nucleotide in an mRNA sequence
  5. The sequence of nucleotides that signals the start or stop of protein sythesis

A
A group of three nucleotide sequences
B
The nucleotide units between the start and stop codes
C
The sequence of nucleotides that signals the start or stop of protein sythesis
D
The nucleotide sequence that serves as the instructions for a protein
E
A single nucleotide in an mRNA sequence
Solution
Verified by Toppr

A set of three nucleotides serve as a codon that specify an amino acid. for example, the mRNA codon "ACU" codes for threonine, irrespective of its source. A nucleotide sequence that serves as instruction for protein is mRNA and have multiple genetic codons between start and stop codons.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
