Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The three consecutive bases in a gene that codes for one amino acid in a protein is called a codon. The other options are not related to this concept. The proteome refers to all the proteins expressed by an organism or cell. Tripheme is not a commonly used term in genetics or biology. Ribosome is a cellular structure responsible for protein synthesis but is not specifically related to a group of three bases in a gene.
