Answer:

B) a sequence of three nucleotides

Explanation:

A codon is the sequence of three nucleotides that decide that which particular amino acid would be incorporated in the polypeptide chain. Each codon code for a particular amino acid and responsible for the primary structure of proteins.

During translation the transfer RNA have the anticodon on its one side and amino acid bound to it on its other side. It adds the amino acids to growing polypeptide chain by binding to particular codon on messenger RNA.

Example; AUG is the starting codon for every protein and code for methionine in eukaryotes and anticodon for it is UAC.

How can the dark fur of one mouse spread to a whole population?
kirill [66]
Through reproduction. dark fur is a dominant trait and eventually if offspring of the one dark furred mouse reproduce enough, it will eventually spread to the whole population because it is a dominant gene and will overpower recessive genes of the other parent organism that the dominant mouse is reproducing with.
