CENTRAL DOGMA :: PART 4

INTERMEDIATE LANGUAGE

-          DNA is made of nucleotides and proteins are made of amino acids and do not have any molecule in common, but still proteins are produced from DNA.

-          When DNA is converted into mRNA a set of 3 nucleotides are called a codon and these function as an intermediate language.

-          There are 64 possible codons with different possible and each codon encode for a different amino acid.


                   

-          This codons are recognised by the tRNA and sets a specific amino acid.
