Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The genetic code is the set of rules by which information encoded in genetic material (DNA or mRNA sequences) is translated into proteins by living cells. Specifically, mRNA codons (sequences of three nucleotides) correspond to specific amino acids. There are 20 standard amino acids in proteins, and the genetic code describes how the sequences of codons in mRNA dictate the sequence of amino acids in a protein.
