Codon Definitions:

A sequence of three nucleotides in mRNA that directs the incorporation of an amino acid during protein synthesis or signals the stop of translation.
Prescott's Microbiology 9th Edition by Joanne Willey, Linda Sherwood, Christopher J. Woolverton
A sequence of three nucleotide bases that corresponds to a specific amino acid.
Essential Microbiology by Stuart Hogg

Codon Notes:

Codon is a three RNA or DNA nucleotides sequence that corresponds with a particular amino acid or stop signal during the process of protein synthesis. RNA and DNA molecules are denoted with a language of four nucleotides whereas 20 amino acids makeup the language of proteins.
