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.

How does using killed or weakened bacteria in an immunization help the body prevent infections
snow_lady [41]
<span>Basically, the body needs to know what it is defending against. Your body can still (usually) fight off infection, even without an immunization, but it takes longer. Basically, your body creates cells with a receptor for a specific disease. When this cell finds the disease it is programmed for, it will send out signals to the "killer" cells to come and kill it. If your body doesn't have the "seeker" cells, it can't fight off the infection until it does. The opposite end are autoimmune diseases, where your immune system starts attacking itself.

Which organ stores and compacts waste before it is eliminated?
liberstina [14]
That organ is called the rectum, or more coomonly, the anus. The rectum is the final part of the large intestine and the digestive system, where food that has had all its nutrients extracted (as much as possible, anyway) is sent to be compacted and sent out through the anus in the form of excreta. The contents in the rectum is mostly indigestible fiber and other materials. The rectum at its end connects to the bodily orifice known as the anus.
