Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the basic unit of the genetic code?
  • Step 1: Understand that the genetic code is made up of small building blocks called nucleotides.
  • Step 2: Know that there are four types of nucleotides in DNA: adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G).
  • Step 3: Realize that these nucleotides group together in sets of three.
  • Step 4: Each group of three nucleotides is called a codon.
  • Step 5: Understand that each codon corresponds to a specific amino acid, which are the building blocks of proteins.
