The Genetic Code Is Best Described as
This genetic information is DNA a double-stranded molecule made of strings of nucleotides. The amino acid it becomes depends upon that three-letter sequence which is called a codon. Protein Synthesis Translation Microbiology A gene is a segment of DNA a condensed DNA molecule makes up a chromosome a chromosome is inside a nucleus and a nucleus is contained within a cell. . Genetic code determines the order of amino acids in a polypeptide chain. Asimov carefully and lucidly provides the scientific background necessary to appreciate the elegant mechanism by which a sequence of DNA nucleotides is translated into a series of amino acids in a protein moleculework that at the time of publishing in 1963 was still very far from complete. 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. The genetic code is best described as a. G...
