Proteins are large molecules composed of one or more chains of amino acids in a specific order determined by the base sequence of nucleotides.

Carbohydrates are any of various neutral compounds of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.

Fat is a fuel source for the body, fat is the major storage form of energy in the body.

adoni [48]

To transcribe the mRNA to make the DNA, we use genetic codes called codons. These are composed of three amino acids clumped together. It could be Adenine(A), Guanine(G), Uracil(U) and Cytosine (C). The difference is that first thread contains GUG, while the second one contains AGU. GUG is for Histidine while AGU is for Serine.
