Codons: Triplets of Bases The flow of information from gene to protein is based on a triplet code: a series of nonoverlapping, three-nucleotide words
{"Image DocumentName": "During transcription, one of the two DNA strands called the template strand provides a template for ordering the sequence of nucleotides in an RNA transcript", "Image ImageDescription": "During translation, the mRNA base triplets, called codons, are read in the 5\uf0a2 to 3\uf0a2 direction. Each codon specifies the amino acid to be placed at the corresponding position along a polypeptide.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
