Genetic code. The genetic code is the set of rules by which information encoded in genetic material (DNA or RNA sequences) is translated into proteins (amino acid sequences) by living cells. Specifically, the code defines a mapping between tri-nucleotide sequences called codons and amino acids; every triplet of nucleotides in a nucleic acid sequence specifies a single amino acid.
Several codons are stop signals and many amino acids are specified by several different codons, accounting for all 64 three-letter combinations. 1  DNA and proteins are key molecules of the cell nucleus. 2  One gene makes one protein.  A gene is made of DNA.
