The basic unit of the genetic code. It consists of a nucleotide triplet in DNA or messenger RNA (mRNA) which codes for a specific amino acid. As there are 64 possible codons but only 20 amino acids in terrestrial organisms, some amino acids have more than one codon (known as degenerative codons). Th...

Codon: A set of any three adjacent bases in the DNA or RNA. There are 64 different codons of which 61 specify the incorporation of an amino acid into a polypeptide chain while the remaining three are stop codons that signal the end of a polypeptide. For example, the DNA codon ACG via its complementary RNA codon CGU specifies the amino acid arginine...
