Summary Introduction

To determine:  The DNA codons that correspond to three mRNA stop codons.

Introduction: A codon is a triplet of nucleotide that codes for a particular amino acid. There are four different nucleotides in molecules of DNA and RNA. 64 different codons are possible from these four nucleotides.
