genetic code  

Definición

  • The genetic code governs the production of protein synthesis in the cell by mapping DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) sequences to proteins that are utilized for various cellular functions. The process of protein synthesis does vary between prokaryotes (single-cell organisms; i.e., cyanobacteria, E. coli) and eukaryotes (multicellular organisms; i.e., animal, plant); however, both cell types are characterized by the processes of transcription and translation that are mediated by the genetic code.
