The final products are proteins.
The genetic code is the set of rules used to translate information encoded within genetic material (DNA or mRNA sequences) into proteins. The genetic code is universal, which means it is highly similar among all organisms. Its role is to define how sequences of nucleotide triplets (codons), specify which amino acid will be added next during protein synthesis (translation).
