Question

The intructions for building proteins necessary for all like functions are coded within an organism's genetic code. The genetic code of an organism consists of codons, or sequence of three nucleotides, that each code for a specific amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein.

Answer 1

This statement is true

Step-by-step explanation:

The genetic code is required for the production of proteins with exception of some few mitochondrial proteins. The transfer RNA (tRNA) acts as an adaptor that enables to associate a messenger RNA trinucleotide sequence (known as anticodon) with its corresponding amino acid in the polypeptididic chain. The genetic code is considered to be a biochemical system capable of revealing the information contained in the DNA in order to synthetize a protein, which has been encrypted in the form of three nucleotides (i.e., codons).
