Cracking the Genetic Code Summary
1,726 words, approx. 6 pages
"Cracking" the genetic code was one of the most exciting discoveries of the twentieth century. Although philosophers and early scientists had long pondered the nature of inheritance, it was not until 1953 that James Watson (1928- ) and...

Genetic Code Summary
1,616 words, approx. 5 pages
The sequence of nucleotides in DNA determines the sequence of amino acids found in all proteins. Since there are only four nucleotide "letters" in the DNA alphabet (A, C, G, T, which stand for adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine), but...

Genetic Code Summary
1,020 words, approx. 3 pages
By the early 1950s, scientists knew that genes were made of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and that specific proteins were the products of specific genes. The exact link between DNA and proteins was less well understood, however. Since proteins are...

Genetic Code Summary
963 words, approx. 3 pages
The genetic code is the set of correspondences between the nucleotide sequences of nucleic acids such as DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), and the amino acid sequences of polypeptides. These correspondences enable the information encoded in the chemical...

Codons Summary
616 words, approx. 2 pages
A codon is a three base nucleotide sequence along a strand of messenger RNA (mRNA) that, when interpreted during protein syntheis, directs the insertion of a specific amino acid into the protein chain. Codons may also direct the termination of protein...
summary from source:
Alternate Genetic Codes Summary
573 words, approx. 2 pages
The genetic code is the correspondence between the information carried in a sequence of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) nucleotide building blocks, and the amino acid sequence of the protein product. Three major types of ribonucleic acid (RNA) utilize DNA...
summary from source:
Degenerate Code Summary
553 words, approx. 2 pages
More than one sequence of DNA nitrogenous bases can ultimately code for the insertion of the same type of amino acid into a protein's polypeptide chain during translation. For this reason, the genetic code is a degenerate code. In science, the term...
summary from source:
Genetic Code Summary
113 words, approx. 0 pages
Sequence of nucleotides in DNA and RNA that determines the amino acid sequence of proteins. A messenger RNA molecule synthesized from the DNA directs the synthesis of the protein. Three adjacent nucleotides constitute a unit known as a codon; each...

Stop Codon Summary
4 words, approx. 0 pages

summary from source:
Genetic code Summary
3,626 words, approx. 12 pages
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. Specifically, the code defines a mapping between tri-nucleotide sequences...
