Solution
Each codon calls for a specific amino acid.
Explanation:
A codon is a triplet of nucleotide bases on mRNA that specifies (codes for) a particular amino acid; during translation, a tRNA with the complementary anticodon brings that amino acid to the ribosome to be added to the growing polypeptide chain.
