Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The genetic code is a universal code comprised of a complete set of 64 mRNA codons, each of which corresponds to a specific amino acid or a stop codon. The genetic code does not include the four nucleotide bases, the set of tRNA molecules that carry amino acids, the set of 20 amino acids, or the proteins encoded by DNA, although all of these components are related to the process of genetic expression.
