Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduction

Codons are three nucleotide sequences on an mRNA that code for specific amino acids during the process of translation for polypeptide synthesis. In humans, there exist 64 different codons, out of which 61 codons code for specific amino acids while, 3 codons function as stop codons (i.e., UAA, UAG, and UGA).

A stop codon is the trinucleotide sequence of mRNA that signals to stop the translation process occurring on the ribosome. 

Messenger Ribonucleic Acid (mRNA) is the transcribed region of a gene present in DNA which is then translated to synthesize proteins.
