The Genetic Code is the 4 nitrogenous bases in RNA (Adenine, Thymine, Guanine and Uracil) and 20 amino acids
Codons code for amino acids and are 3 base pairs long (example: CAU)
-
​​​​​Start Codon = AUG (Protein: Met.)
-
​Anything before this codon = noncoding
-
-
Stop Codons = UGA, UAA, UAG
-
​They stop protein coding because they don't code for no protein
-
​Anything after these guys are not transcribed/coded for protein
