The genetic code is the set of rules by which information encoded in genetic material (DNA or RNA sequences) is translated into proteins (amino acid sequences) by living cells.
*The genetic code consists of the sequence of bases in DNA or RNA. *Groups of three bases form codons, and each codon stands for one amino acid (or start or stop). *The codons are read in sequence following the start codon until a stop codon is reached.* The genetic code is universal, unambiguous, and redundant.
