Question

Sets of three bases on the mRNA strand are called ____________.

Answer 1

Answer:

Each group of three bases in mRNA constitutes a codon, and each codon specifies a particular amino acid (hence, it is a triplet code). The mRNA sequence is thus used as a template to assemble—in order—the chain of amino acids that form a protein. Figure 2: The amino acids specified by each mRNA codon.

Answer 2

Answer:

The mRNA bases are grouped into sets of three, called codons
