The Genetic Code👇

✅This circular chart represents the genetic code, showing how three-letter sequences called codons in mRNA specify amino acids during protein synthesis.

✅Start reading a codon from the center of the wheel and move outward. The first base is found in the innermost circle, followed by the second and third bases in the outer rings.

✅The four RNA bases—U (uracil), C (cytosine), A (adenine), and G (guanine)—combine to form 64 possible codons. These codons specify 20 amino acids or signal the end of protein synthesis.

✅Several amino acids are encoded by multiple codons. For example, leucine, serine, and arginine each have six different codons, illustrating the redundancy of the genetic code.

✅The chart also highlights the start codons, particularly AUG, which codes for methionine and commonly signals the beginning of translation. UAA, UAG, and UGA function as stop codons, marking the end of a protein-coding sequence.

✅The annotations around the wheel show special variations in the genetic code, including differences found in mitochondria and certain organisms.
