• DNA: ATA CCG

  RNA: UAU GGC

• DNA: CUG AUU

  RNA: GAC UAA

A DNA strand contains codons, which consist of a sequence of three nucleotides. Which BEST describes the importance of codons found in the sequence of DNA?

• They contain the code for messenger RNA.

• They signal the start of mitotic cell division.

• They ensure proper replication of the genetic code.

• They are used to assemble amino acids for protein synthesis.
