Gene - A section of DNA containing a particular sequence of bases that codes for a specific protein.
Protein Synthesis - The transcription of a specific DNA base sequence into mRNA and its translation, by a ribosome, into a particular amino acid sequence forming a protein.
Genetic Code
• The universal code that determines the function of all possible triplets of DNA / mRNA.
• Most triplets specify a particular amino acid (= a codon).
• Some triplets function as a start or stop signal for protein synthesis.
• It is a degenerate code as a particular amino acid may be coded for by more than one codon.
