Understand that the question is asking for the term that describes a sequence of three RNA nucleotides which corresponds to a specific amino acid during protein synthesis.
Recall that RNA is composed of nucleotides arranged in sequences, and groups of three nucleotides form units that are read during translation.
Identify that an 'exon' is a segment of a gene that codes for protein, but it is not specifically a three-nucleotide sequence.
Recognize that an 'intron' is a non-coding segment of RNA that is removed during RNA processing, so it does not code for amino acids.
Know that a 'codon' is the correct term for a triplet of RNA nucleotides that specifies a particular amino acid, while an 'anticodon' is a complementary sequence found on tRNA.
