Question

Is genetic code a triplet?

Answer 1

Genetic code is a triplet in nature:

1. Yes, genetic code is a trinucleotide sequenced triplet.
2. A triplet code is a genetic code that is made up of three ribonucleotide letters. As a result, a genetic code is a triplet code in which one amino acid is specified by a sequence of three nucleotides.
3. The genetic code is responsible for converting RNA sequences into amino acid sequences.
4. The genetic code translates the 20 amino acids found in proteins into the four bases found in DNA and RNA, directing protein production. 64 codes (43 = 4x4x4) are formed by various triplet combinations of four bases, of which 61 are specific for amino acids and three are stop codons.
