Answer:The genetic code is a set of rules that defines how the four-letter code of DNA is translated into the 20-letter code of amino acids that make up proteins. The genetic code is a triplet code, meaning that each three-letter sequence of DNA (called a codon) corresponds to one of the 20 amino acids or to a stop signal. The four bases of nucleotide i.e, (A, G, C, and U) are used to produce three-base codons1.

Here is a table showing the genetic code with their triplet code of bases:

Codon Amino Acid

UUU or UUC Phenylalanine

UUA or UUG Leucine

CUU or CUC or CUA or CUG Leucine

AUU or AUC or AUA Isoleucine

AUG Methionine

GUU or GUC or GUA or GUG Valine

UCU or UCC or UCA or UCG Serine

CCU or CCC or CCA or CCG Proline

ACU or ACC or ACA or ACG Threonine

GCU or GCC or GCA or GCG Alanine

UAU or UAC Tyrosine

UAA or UAG or UGA Stop codon

CAU or CAC Histidine

CAA or CAG Glutamine

AAU or AAC Asparagine

AAA or AAG Lysine

GAU or GAC Aspartic acid

GAA or GAG Glutamic acid

UGU or UGC Cysteine

UGG Tryptophan

CGU or CGC or CGA or CGG Arginine

AGU or AGC Serine

AGA or AGG Arginine

GGU or GGC or GGA or GGG Glycine
