Genes and Organisms Features

DNA carries a code that instructs the cell about the type of protein it should make.

The genetic code being a triplet code means that every three bases indicate one amino acid.

The sequence of bases in a gene is the genetic code for putting together amino acids in the correct order to make a specific protein.
