Summary Introduction
To determine:
How many
Introduction:
A codon is defined as the three nucleotide sequence of either RNA or DNA that codes for specific amino acid which forms protein. There are two types of codons initiation codon and stop codons. Some codons initiate the process of protein synthesis while some stop the process of protein synthesis.
