$RNA$ into that of proteins

Vedclass · Answer

(A) The genetic code is the set of rules by which information encoded in genetic material ($mRNA$ sequences) is translated into proteins (amino acid sequences) by living cells.During the process of translation,the sequence of nucleotides in $mRNA$ is read in groups of three,known as codons.Each codon corresponds to a specific amino acid,which is brought to the ribosome by $tRNA$ molecules containing the complementary anticodon.Thus,the genetic code effectively translates the language of $RNA$ into the language of proteins.
