  4. Proteins

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is NOT a component of the genetic code?
  • Step 1: Understand what the genetic code is. The genetic code is a set of rules that determines how information in DNA is translated into proteins.
  • Step 2: Identify the components of the genetic code. The main components include codons (three-nucleotide sequences), amino acids (building blocks of proteins), and the process of translation.
  • Step 3: Recognize that proteins are the final products made from the genetic code, not a part of the code itself.
  • Step 4: Conclude that since proteins are the result of gene expression, they are NOT a component of the genetic code.
