Solution

The correct option is A Genetic code
The genetic code includes the set of rules by which information encoded within genetic material is translated into proteins by living cells. The genetic code defines how sequences of these nucleotide triplets, called codons, specify which amino acid will be added next during protein synthesis.
Thus the correct answer is option A.
