Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following best describes the genetic code?
  • Step 1: Understand that the genetic code is a set of rules that tells cells how to make proteins.
  • Step 2: Recognize that the genetic code is made up of sequences of nucleotides (A, T, C, G) in DNA.
  • Step 3: Learn that 'universal' means this code is the same in almost all living organisms, from bacteria to humans.
  • Step 4: Know that 'unambiguous' means each sequence of three nucleotides (called a codon) corresponds to one specific amino acid.
  • Step 5: Conclude that because of these properties, the genetic code is essential for life and is consistent across different species.
