Codon
01
kodon
a sequence of three adjacent nucleotides in mRNA that codes for a specific amino acid during protein synthesis or serves as a start or stop signal in the translation process
Contoh
Mutations in codons can lead to changes in the amino acid sequence of a protein, affecting its function.
AUG is the start codon, initiating the translation process in protein synthesis.
The genetic code is degenerate, meaning that multiple codons can code for the same amino acid.
UGA, UAA, and UAG are stop codons, signaling the end of protein synthesis.
Some codons have dual functions, serving both as amino acid codons and stop signals.
