A codon specifies one of which of the following?Amino acidsProteinsNucleotidesDNA

For each statement, indicate whether it is true or false. The information contained in rRNA, called the genetic code, is carried in sets of three-nucleotide units called codons.A codon specifies an amino acid during translation. There are 64 possible codons that exist; therefore, amino acids can have more than one codon. There are 3 start codons and one stop codon within the genetic code.

Question 11In the genetic code, mRNA is decoded in blocks of three bases, known as codons. Each codon specifies a particular amino acid. Proteins are built one amino acid at a time, with order determined by the order of the codons in the mRNA. There are 64 possible codons in this genetic code, but there are only 20 amino acids. What do the extra codons allow for?
