codon

In genetics, a triplet of bases (see base pair) in a molecule of DNA or RNA that directs the placement of a particular amino acid during the process of protein (polypeptide) synthesis. As each of the three positions can be filled by any of the four bases, there are 43 = 64 codons in the genetic code.
