Answer 1

Answer:

in triplets of nucleotides, called codons. American geneticist Charles Yanofsky showed that the positions of mutant sites within a gene matched perfectly the positions of altered amino acids in the amino acid sequence of the corresponding protein. ... These three-letter words are called codons.

Explanation: difference

A codon is a triplet of bases (or nucleotides) in the DNA coding for one amino acid. Each triplet encodes one amino acid (notice three triplets are "stop" codons which signal the end of a gene.

Why is a codon a triplet?

Scientists theorized that amino acids were encoded by nucleotide triplets and that the genetic code was degenerate. In other words, a given amino acid could be encoded by more than one nucleotide triplet. ... This demonstrated that three nucleotides specify each amino acid. These nucleotide triplets are called codons.

Answer 2

Answer:

three nucleotides—called a triplet or codon—codes for one particular amino acid in the protein. ... Each codon stands for a specific amino acid, so if the message in mRNA is 900 nucleotides long, which corresponds to 300 codons, it will be translated into a chain of 300 amino acids.
