Let us make an in-depth study of the genetic code. After reading this article you will learn about: 1. Deciphering or Cracking of Genetic Code 2. Khorana Technique 3. DNA Genetic Codon is Triplet 4. Properties of Genetic Codons and 5. Effects of Mutation on Genetic Code. Deoxyribonucleic acid DNA is the genetic material of the cell, carrying information in [...]
Let us discuss about the genetic code. The eight important properties of genetic code are: (1) Code is a Triplet (2) The Code is Degenerate (3) The Code is Non-overlapping (4) The Code is Comma Less (5) The Code is Unambiguous (6) The Code is Universal (7) Co-linearity and (8) Gene-polypeptide Parity. Genetic Code refers to the relationship between the [...]
This article throws light upon the seven properties of the genetic code. The seven properties are: (1) A Non-overlapping Code (2) Exceptions to the Code (3) Transfer of Information via the Genetic Code (4) Reading Frame of a Sequence (5) Start/Stop Codons (6) Degeneracy of the Genetic Code and (7) Variations to the Standard Genetic Code. We need several thousands [...]
