The genetic code is a set of rules by which information encoded in the genetic material (DNA or RNA sequences) is translated into proteins (amino acid sequences) by living cells.
-The genetic code consists of 64 triplets of nucleotides. these triplets are called codons. With three exceptions, each codon and codes for one of the 20 amino acids used in the synthesis of proteins. that produces some redundancy in the code: MuscleTech amino acids being encoded by more than one codon.
