Which best describes a codon? a. a cell structure that gives the master instructions for an organism b. a segment of dna that is the basis of heredity in organisms c. the sequence of three bases that codes for a specific amino acid d. the basic unit of structure and function of all living things

The correct answer is option C, the sequence of three bases that codes for a specific amino acid

Reason -

A codon is the sequential representation of three DNA or RNA nucleotide. These DNA or RNA nucleotide set corresponds only to a specific amino acid or else they do not participate in protein synthesis. Each codon responds only to a single amino acid.There are total 64 codons out of which 61 represents the amino acid and the remaining three codons are knows as stop codon . for example TAA (also known as stop codon), CAG etc.

unicellular organisms, like bacteria, are able to perform all life functions within one single cell. multicellular organisms need many different types of cells to carry out the same life processes. each of these special types of cells has a different structure that it perform a specific function.
