During translation, what is the role of mRNA codons?
During translation, what is the role of mRNA codons?
- They regulate the processing steps of pre-mRNA.
- They specify the order of amino acids in a protein from N-terminal to C-terminal. (correct)
- They determine the genetic DNA sequence.
- They initiate the process of transcription.
