A triplet is the a section of the 3 bases in an RNA strand which carries information to the next aill be added to the developing polypteptide chain.Each triplet is made of 3 nucleotides (refer to page "DNA Structures" for more information) in different orders creating amino acids in proteins.
 *  Triplet **

An easier definition of triplet: A triplet is a coded instruction, in DNA used by genes to synthesize proteins. From the DNA structure, we know that a DNA has 4 different types of nucleotides (coded letters) and 3 of them are used in certain sequences to create different code words, hence the word triplet. Each triplet will then correspond to a single amino acid in a protein. (Pickering)

In this case Codon would be a triplet.

The triplet code has 3 nucleotides that then synthesize of a specific amino acid in proteins. This leads to the proteins that create the body and the characteristics within a person (How the code). To put it simply, triplets are messengers that carry the instructions that are required to make the acid that will later make the proteins which the cells will be needed to sustain the life form.

**The relationship between DNA and nucleus**

The DNA cannot leave the nucleus but a strand can. These strands are called mRNA. The reason why DNA can't leave the nucleus and mRNA is because DNA is much bigger than mRNA molecules which are small enough to leave through nucleus pores. below is a video that explains the relation between the DNA and the nucleus as simply as possible.

**The process of Protein creation**

The message on the DNA is copied onto Ribonucleic Acid (RNA).

mRNA leaves the nucleus and goes to a Ribosome

Inside the Ribosome the message on the mRNA is read and a protein molecule is built.



**Summary of replication, transcription and translation**

**The time take for this process ** This process occurs very rapidly, as it takes around 10 seconds for a molecule of haemoglobin to be built up by the ribosome. The molecule of haemoglobin contains over 600 amino acids, and the characteristic of oxygen transport to red blood cells are given by the protein haemoglobin.
