Codon Colinear eneracy of the genetic code Nonsense codon Reading frame Describes that a given amino acid can be encoded by more than one nucleotide triplet Three consecutive nucleotides in mRNA that specify the insertion of an amino acid or the release of a polypeptide chain during translation One of the three mRNA codons that specifies termination of translation Sequence of triplet codons in mRNA that specify a particular protein a ribosome shift of one or two nucleotides in either direction completely abolishes synthesis of that protein In terms of RNA and protein three units of RNA nucleotides specify one unit of protein amino acid in a consecutive fashion
