Codon is:

Answer: Three bases on mRNA that code for one amino acid.

  • A Three bases on tRNA that recognize the anticodon
  • B Three bases on mRNA that code for one amino acid
  • C One base on mRNA marking the start of translation
  • D A sequence on DNA recognized by RNA polymerase

Correct answer: B. Three bases on mRNA that code for one amino acid

Explanation: A codon is a triplet of bases on mRNA that codes for a specific amino acid (or start/stop signal).
