The codon table may look kind of intimidating at first. Fortunately, it's organized in a logical way, and it's not too hard to use once you understand this organization.

In this article, we'll take a closer look at the genetic code, which allows DNA and RNA nucleotide sequences to be translated into the amino acids they represent.

Explore the discovery and properties of the genetic code, including codon tables, in this informative article on genetics and molecular biology.

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

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 …

To see how the codon table works, let's walk through an example. Suppose that we are interested in the codon CAG and want to know which amino acid it specifies.

This article covers the foundational concepts of codons, anticodons, the wobble hypothesis, and the universal nature of the genetic code, with applications that are essential for MCAT …

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