| codon |
A set of three nucleotides in mRNA, functioning as a unit of genetic coding by specifying a particular amino acid during the synthesis of polypeptides in a cell. A codon specifies a transfer RNA carrying a specific amino acid, which is incorporated into a polypeptide chain during protein synthesis. The specificity for translating genetic information from DNA into mRNA, then to protein, is provided by codon-anticodon pairing. See anticodon; initiation codon; termination codon.

| coding sequence |
That portion of a gene which directly specifies the amino acid sequence of its protein product. Non-coding sequences of genes include control regions, such as promoters, operators and terminators, as well as the intron sequences of certain eukaryotic genes.

| codon |
A sequence of three nucleotides of messenger RNA that determines the addition of a particular amino acid to, or termination of, a polypeptide chain during protein synthesis. See Ribonucleic Acid.
