Expert Solution

Step 1

A codon table can be used to convert a genetic code into an amino acid sequence. Because messenger RNA (mRNA) drives protein synthesis when proteins are synthesized in a cell by ribosomes, the conventional genetic code has usually been represented as an RNA codon table. The sequence of genomic DNA determines the mRNA sequence. The conventional genetic code is referred to as translation table 1 in this context. A DNA codon table can also be used to depict it.
