Translation is the process of synthesis of protein from an mRNA. mRNA synthesized through transcription is read by the ribosomes as triplets of nucleotides known as codons. Each codon specifies an amino acid. Some amino acids are synthesized by a single and specific codon. This is known as specificity of the codons. And some amino acids are synthesized by more than one codon. This is known as codon degeneracy. There are some codons which will not code for any amino acid. Such codons are known as stop codons, and they terminate the translation process. Initiation codons are the codons which initiate the translation process.
