Question

multiple choice question
each amino acid in a protein is specified by a series of three bases in mrna called ________.

o promoters
o codons
o anticodons
o triplets

Explanation:

In molecular biology, the series of three - base sequences in mRNA that specify amino acids are codons. Promoters are DNA sequences involved in transcription initiation. Anticodons are on tRNA and pair with codons. Triplets can be a general term but is not the specific name for these mRNA three - base sequences specifying amino acids.

Answer:

B. codons
