Genetic Code: The code that defines a mapping between tri-nuclotide sequences called codons and amino acids.
The Genetic Code is universal, it is present in almost all living things. It's basically genetic instructions For example the gene code for proteins are composed of tri-nucleotide of units named condons, each one a code for a single a.a. Proteins are crucial because are needed for growth, repair and many other important functions. Genes are the part of DNA that is functional that carry genetic information. Each one has four possible bases: Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine.
The discovery made by Francis Crick and James Watson helped multiple other scientist to come up with or discover the beginning of the idea of the genetic code.
