Solution

A nucleotide triplet, also known as a codon, codes for an amino acid. So, the correct answer is (b) an amino acid.

Here's the step by step explanation:

  1. DNA is made up of a sequence of nucleotides. Each nucleotide consists of a sugar, a phosphate, and a nitrogenous base.

  2. A specific sequence of three consecutive nucleotides forms a codon.

  3. Each codon corresponds to a specific amino acid.

  4. During the process of protein synthesis, these codons are read in sequence, and the corresponding amino acids are linked together to
