Codon: a sequence of three nucleotides which together form a unit of genetic code in a DNA or RNA molecule. Nucleotides are molecules consisting of a nucleoside and a phosphate group. They are the basic building blocks of DNA and RNA. Amino acids are organic compounds that combine to form proteins. Amino acids and proteins are the building blocks of life. When proteins are digested or broken down, amino acids are left. The human body uses amino acids to make proteins to help the body: Break down food. #codon #RNA #DNA #genetics #aminoacid #polypeptide #protein #rybosome #mRNA #anticodon #tRNA #gene #NikolaysGeneticsLessons #antiCodon #codonAnticodonInteraction #codonAndAnticodonPairing #codonAnticodon #codonYAnticodon #whyCodonCodes #howCodon #differenceBetweenCodonAndAnticodon #codonVsAnticodon #workingOfCodonAndAntiCodon #TranslationCodon #aminoAcidCodon #AUG #initiationCodon #terminationCodon #geneticCode #methionone #biology #codons
