if a molecule of mrna is a sentence, its bases are the letters and the codons are the ______.
Brief Explanations
In the analogy of mRNA as a sentence, bases (like A, U, G, C) are the "letters". Codons are groups of three bases (e.g., AUG) that code for specific amino acids. In language terms, just as words are made up of letters and carry meaning, codons (made up of bases) carry the "meaning" (code for amino acids) in the mRNA "sentence".
