your answer
three bases
Proteins are built from a basic set of 20 amino acids, but there are only four bases. Simple calculations show that a minimum of three bases is required to encode at least 20 amino acids. Genetic experiments showed that an amino acid is in fact encoded by a group of three bases, or codon.

Answer:There are 4 types of nucleotides (bases) in mRNA and their arrangement code 20 amino acids
Initially, singlet codon concept was considered which means one base codes one amino acid
Later on, doublet codon concept was considered in which two nucleotides code one amino acid.
According to triplet codon concept, 3 nucleotides code one amino acid.
