Genetic code:
Genetic code refers to group of nitrogen bases in a number of three, which usually codes for one distinct amino acid.
Genetic code is useful in process of translation, where protein is synthesized based on the template of RNA. This process involves the attachment of amino acids that are polymerized with one another and amino acids are brought to one another based on this genetic code.
Nitrogen bases are four in number, and genetic code is formed of three nitrogen bases. So, a combination of 64 genetic codons is possible out of which 3 are stop codons and rest 61 codons codes for 20 amino acids.
