The genetic code links groups of nucleotides in an mRNA to amino acids in a protein. Start codons, stop codons, reading frame.

How are the instructions for building a protein encoded in DNA, and how are they deciphered by the cell? In this article, we'll take a closer look at the genetic code, which allows DNA and RNA …

During translation, the nucleotides of the mRNA are read in groups of three called codons. Each codon specifies a particular amino acid or a stop signal. This set of relationships is known as …

All together, this collection of codon-amino acid relationships is called the genetic code, because it lets cells “decode” an mRNA into a chain of amino acids.

This exercise tests knowledge on interpreting the genetic code, translation and mutations.

These relationships between mRNA codons and amino acids are known as the genetic code (which you can explore further in the genetic code article).

The genetic code is read in three-base words called codons. Each codon corresponds to a single amino acid (or signals the starting and stopping points of a sequence).

Understand how the genetic code directs translation from mRNA to protein. Explore the central dogma of gene expression and the role of ribosomes in building polypeptides.
