dictated by the specific codons in the DNA itself.

Lol excuse me for being so meticulous, even though you aren't a student, but you can't say codon for DNA, because codon only applies for mRNA. :) Just so students who read your comment don't screw up haha!

Yep!

Three concurrent DNA nucleotide bases = triplet

Three concurrent mRNA nucleotide bases = codon

Three concurrent tRNA nucleotide bases = anticodon

Codons are defined a sequence of 3 nucleic acids, and can be both DNA and RNA. In the bio course, you'll deal with mRNA codons (when using that term). :)

You can use 'triplets' as a term for a sequence of 3 nucleotides that can be used for DNA + RNA. But codon is only for mRNA. I am like 100% sure lol! Marks are deducted for incorrect terminology use, and its on the assessment report! :)

Nowadays, it's fine to say "DNA codon" too :)
