The codon table may look kind of intimidating at first. Fortunately, it's organized in a logical way, and it's not too hard to use once you understand this organization.

How are the instructions for building a protein encoded in DNA, and how are they deciphered by the cell? In this article, we'll take a closer look at the genetic code, which allows DNA and RNA …

The genetic code links groups of nucleotides in an mRNA to amino acids in a protein. Start codons, stop codons, reading frame.

This exercise tests knowledge on interpreting the genetic code, translation and mutations.

Explore the discovery and properties of the genetic code, including codon tables, in this informative article on genetics and molecular biology.

This article covers the foundational concepts of codons, anticodons, the wobble hypothesis, and the universal nature of the genetic code, with applications that are essential for MCAT preparation.
