    The genetic code is the set of rules that translates genetic information from DNA and RNA sequences into amino acid sequences in proteins. It uses codon sequences found in mRNA to carry information from DNA to the site of protein synthesis. The full relationship between codons and amino acids or stop signals is called the genetic code, which is often summarized in a table.

    GENETIC

    CODE
    The genetic code is the set of rules by
    which information encoded in genetic
    material (DNA or RNA sequences) is
    translated into proteins (amino acid
    sequences) by living cells.
    2
    The code our body uses to convert the instructions
    contained in our DNA the essential materials of life.
    It is typically discussed using the “codons” found in
    mRNA, as mRNA is the messenger that carries
    information from the DNA to the site of protein
    synthesis.
    3
    The full set of relationships between codons and
    amino acids (or stop signals) is called
    the genetic code. The genetic code is often
    summarized in a table.
