3 0
In the genetic code, codons made of of three bases specify an amino acid. With three bases, there are 64 possible permutations.

tigry1 [53]

A prokaryotic cell is a simple, single-celled (unicellular) organism that lacks a nucleus, or any other membrane-bound organelle. We will shortly come to see that this is significantly different in eukaryotes. Prokaryotic DNA is found in the central part of the cell: a darkened region called the nucleoid (Figure 1).
