Hi everyone here, we have a question telling us a code on is the sequence of three consecutive nucleotides that occurs in blank A r r n A, b t r n A, c m R N A or D both B and C A code on is the sequence of three consecutive nucleotides that occur in c r m r n A. And what it does is we could have start and stock code ons that serve as the signal to begin a stop protein synthesis, and it also controls integration of amino acid into the protein. So this code ins in M RNA are very important. Thank you for watching. Bye.
