A codon is a particular combination of three nucleotides. therefore, there are __________ possible combinations of the nucleotides a, c, g, and t. 64 32 12 16 4
A codon is a particular combination of three nucleotides, therefore, there are 64 possible combinations of the nucleotides. The codons are recognized during the process of translation by the anticodon on the tRNA. Each codon codes for a particular amino acid; the amino acids then joins to form polypeptides and eventually a protein is formed.
