Genetic codon represents the sequence of amino acid in the polypeptide. It is known that there is 20 amino acid in total coded by 64 codons.

George Gamow gave the concept of triplet codon and coined the term genetic code.
The genetic code is read in a continuous fashion without any punctuation and in a pair of 3.
so, the correct option is 'Alanine-methionine-threonine.'
