The below mentioned article provides an overview on the Genetic Code. From the study of protein synthesis, it is evident that amino acid sequence in the protein molecule is determined by DNA which carries information for this purpose. But where does the information lie? If we look at DNA chain the deoxy-ribonucleotides backbone seems to be of no help as [...]
The below mentioned article provides short notes on the genetic code. The DNA carries the genetic information for the type of protein to be synthesized. The genetic information is transmitted to the ribosomes which is the place of protein synthesis through mRNA which moves from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. The mRNA is formed from the DNA or part of [...]
In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Meaning of Genetic Code 2. Types of Genetic Code 3. Properties. Meaning of Genetic Code: The genetic code may be defined as the exact sequence of DNA nucleotides read as three letter words or codons, that determines the sequence of amino acids in protein synthesis. In other words, the genetic code is [...]
