Detailed explanation-1: -Each sequence of three nucleotides, called a codon, usually codes for one particular amino acid. (Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.)
Detailed explanation-2: -A gene is an ordered sequence of nucleotides located in a particular position within the genome that encodes a specific functional product (i.e., a protein or RNA molecule).
Detailed explanation-3: -Concept 23 A gene is a discrete sequence of DNA nucleotides. Mendel described a gene as a discrete unit of heredity that influences a visible trait. Beadle and Tatum defined a gene as the discrete directions for making a single protein, which influences a metabolic trait.
Detailed explanation-4: -Listen to pronunciation. (KOH-don) A sequence of three consecutive nucleotides in a DNA or RNA molecule that codes for a specific amino acid. Certain codons signal the start or end of translation.
Detailed explanation-5: -During translation, the genetic code in mRNA is read and used to make a polypeptide. These two processes are summed up by the central dogma of molecular biology: DNA → RNA → Protein .
