Definitions:

Codon

A sequence of three nucleotides that together form a unit of genetic code in a DNA or RNA molecule, representing a specific amino acid.

Termination Codon

A nucleotide triplet within messenger RNA that signals the end of translation, resulting in the release of the newly synthesized protein.

Anticodon

Three nucleotides in a row create a genetic code unit within a transfer RNA molecule, matching a corresponding codon in messenger RNA.

mRNA Codons

Triplet sequences of nucleotides in messenger RNA that specify which amino acid will be added next during protein synthesis.
