#1
Front (Question)

DNA bases exist in

Back (Answer)

triplets

#2
Front (Question)

Codon

Back (Answer)

Triplet of three baes on mRNA which code for a specific amino acid

#3
Front (Question)

Degenerate genetic code

Back (Answer)

There are 64 base combination but 20 amino acids Some amino acids have more than one codon e.g proline is coded by the triplets CCG ,CCA CCC, CCU

#4
Front (Question)

Non-overlapping genetic code

Back (Answer)

Each base is only one codon Triplet codons are read in one direction Each base is only read once

#5
Front (Question)

Universal genetic code

Back (Answer)

All organisms on earth have the same genetic code The same codon always code for the same amino acids

#6
Front (Question)

Coding sequence

Back (Answer)

Always starts with the same codon AUG - This is the start codon There are three codons that do not code for amino acids and mark the end of coding sequences to stop translation - these are the stop codons - UGA UAA UAG
