Codes for a single protein
A
DNA
B
Gene
C
Chromosome
D
Chromatin
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A codon or a code word is defined as a group of bases that specify an amino acid. There is strong evidence, which proves that a sequence of three nucleotides codes for an amino acid in the protein, i.e., the code is a triplet. The four bases of nucleotide i.e, (A, G, C, and U) are used to produce three-base codons.

Detailed explanation-2: -The genetic code is the instruction that a gene uses to tell a cell how to make a specific protein.

Detailed explanation-3: -The first is to estimate the number of different protein types (proteome width), as well as measure protein copies number in particular tissues (proteome depth). Following the hypothesis of “one gene = one protein, ” there should be at least  20, 000 nonmodified (canonical) human proteins.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Proteomic Code is a set of rules by which information in genetic material is transferred into the physico-chemical properties of amino acids. It determines how individual amino acids interact with each other during folding and in specific protein-protein interactions.

Detailed explanation-5: -Protein coding sequences are DNA sequences that are transcribed into mRNA and in which the corresponding mRNA molecules are translated into a polypeptide chain. Every three nucleotides, termed a codon, in a protein coding sequence encodes 1 amino acid in the polypeptide chain.
