Genetic Code
- DNA contains genes;
instructions for making
proteins
- Polypeptide chains
(proteins) are made from
amino acids
- Different polypeptide chains
have different numbers of
amino acids
- A gene is a sequence of bases
that codes for the sequence of
amino acids in a protein
- Each amino acid is coded
for by a sequence of 3
bases (triplet/codon)
- The way that DNA codes
for proteins is called
genetic code
- Different sequences of
bases code for different
amino acids
- The order of mononucleotide bases in a
gene determine the order of amino acids
in a polypeptide chain
