The genetic code can be defined as a set of rules used to encode information from genetic material (DNA or RNA ) into proteins. There are sequences of nucleotide triplets, -codons which specify which amino acid will be added next during translation (protein synthesis). Genetic code consists of 64 codons and this means that some amino acids are specified by more than one codon.

Genetic code has a role to determine amino acid sequence of protein (primary structure of protein). Location and the function of all those synthesized proteins is determinated by regulatory genomic regions (gene regulatory codes).

Proteins perform a wide range of functions within organisms such as catalysing metabolic reactions, DNA replication, stimuli response, structure role, transport role. So, all the diversity of organisms on this planet is due to protein variety.

Fiesta28 [93]
The answer would be "<span>Cyclins are proteins that regulate when and how often a cell divides". Cyclins belong to a family of proteins that control the progression of a cell through its respective cell cycle. This is initiated by activating cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) enzymes which regulate </span>transcription of RNA and process mRNA during mitosis.
