Question

during translation, mrna is read in groups of bases. how many bases are in each group?
a 1
b 3
c 6
d 9

Explanation:

In the process of translation, mRNA is read in units called codons. Each codon consists of 3 nucleotide bases, and each codon codes for a specific amino acid or a stop signal. So the number of bases in each group (codon) during mRNA reading in translation is 3.

Answer:

b. 3
