Question

modeling mutations quick check
three - letter segments of mrna code for specific (1 point)
sickle cells.
disorders.
chromosomes.
amino acids.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

mRNA (messenger RNA) has three - letter segments called codons. In the process of translation (protein synthesis), each codon codes for a specific amino acid. Sickle cells are related to a mutation in the hemoglobin gene (not directly to mRNA codons in this context). Disorders are a broad category and not what mRNA codons specifically code for. Chromosomes are structures made of DNA and proteins, and mRNA codons do not code for chromosomes.

Answer:

amino acids.
