Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The sequence of amino acids encoded by the DNA sequence
Concept introduction: The nucelotide triplet that encodes an amino acids is called codon. Each group of three nucleotides encodes one amino acid. There are 20 amino acid present which are encoded by differnet codon. DNA sequence is always synthesized in
The rule of base pairing are: A purine base Adenine
