a set of three nitrogenous bases representing an amino acid is = codon.
a set of three nitrogenous bases representing an amino acid; orde of the nitrogenous bases in mRNA determines the type and order of amino acids AND protein
oh, and if ur at connections academy, they usually give you a link to the online book... use that!! all the vocab is at the very beginning before you even read
usually says this:
Biology: The Dynamics of Life.

Each nucleotide triplet set codes for a particular amino acid (or else tells the copier to start or stop), so it's called a 'codon'. It's often the case that the first two nucleotides are the key ones, because the third one may sometimes vary without changing the AA that's being coded for. That's one of the cool 'fail-safes' in the genetic code.

this is some badly worded question ... no need for the word nitrogen and its called nucleotide bases or nitrogenous bases
