The statement 'each group of three RNA bases codes for a single amino acid' describes how the RNA sequence specifies the production of an amino acid chain (Option B).

What is gene transcription?

Gene transcription is the process by which a fragment of DNA called gene is used to create a messenger RNA.

  • Subsequently, this mRNA molecule is then used to create a protein by the process of translation.

  • In mRNA, the triplets of nucleotides or codons indicate the specific amino acids that will be added to the poly[peptide.

In conclusion, the statement 'each group of three RNA bases codes for a single amino acid' describes how the RNA sequence specifies the production of an amino acid chain (Option B).
