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
