The genetic code is a nearly universal language that encodes directions for cells. The language uses DNA nucleotides, arranged in codons of three, to store the blueprints for amino acid chains.
Three different types of RNA exist, mRNA or messenger RNA, tRNA or transfer RNA, and rRNA or ribosomal RNA. Protein Synthesis Cells store and use coded information. The genetic information stored in DNA is used to direct the synthesis of the thousands of proteins that each cell requires.The chemical and structural properties of DNA are the basis for how the genetic information that underlies heredity.DNA is encoded in the sequence of nitrogenous bases which directs the formation of proteins in the cell.he chemical and structural properties of DNA are the basis for how the genetic information that underlies heredity.
