... A nucleotide triplet (e.g., AGA) in mRNA is called a codon. Each codon encodes one amino acid (except for stop codons, which do not encode amino acids). Codons are read consecutively on mRNA from 5’ to 3’. The mRNA code can be translated in one of three reading frames. The reading frame is typically ...
