  2. DNA and RNA codon tables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_and_RNA_codon_tables

    DNA and RNA codon tables. The standard RNA codon table organized in a wheel. A codon table can be used to translate a genetic code into a sequence of amino acids. [1][2] The standard genetic code is traditionally represented as an RNA codon table, because when proteins are made in a cell by ribosomes, it is messenger RNA (mRNA) that directs ...

  5. Codon degeneracy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codon_degeneracy

    Codon degeneracy. Degeneracy or redundancy[1] of codons is the redundancy of the genetic code, exhibited as the multiplicity of three-base pair codon combinations that specify an amino acid. The degeneracy of the genetic code is what accounts for the existence of synonymous mutations. [2]: Chp 15.

  6. Bacterial, archaeal and plant plastid code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterial,_archaeal_and...

    Bacterial, archaeal and plant plastid code. The bacterial, archaeal and plant plastid code (translation table 11) is the DNA code used by bacteria, archaea, prokaryotic viruses and chloroplast proteins. It is essentially the same as the standard code, however there are some variations in alternative start codons.

  7. Central dogma of molecular biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_dogma_of_molecular...

    DNA codes A, G, T, and C are transferred to RNA codes A,G,U and C, respectively. The encoding of proteins is done in groups of three, known as codons. The standard codon table applies for humans and mammals, but some other lifeforms (including human mitochondria [9]) use different translations. [10]

  8. Common descent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_descent

    The genetic code (the "translation table" according to which DNA information is translated into amino acids, and hence proteins) is nearly identical for all known lifeforms, from bacteria and archaea to animals and plants. The universality of this code is generally regarded by biologists as definitive evidence in favor of universal common ...

  9. Start codon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Start_codon

    In this genomic region, the two genes overlap. The start codon is the first codon of a messenger RNA (mRNA) transcript translated by a ribosome. The start codon always codes for methionine in eukaryotes and archaea and a N-formylmethionine (fMet) in bacteria, mitochondria and plastids. The start codon is often preceded by a 5' untranslated ...
