Groups of three bases form codons, and each codon stands for one what?
sulferic acid
compound acid
minimal acid
amino acid
The genetic code consists of the sequence of bases in DNA or RNA. Groups of three bases form codons, and each codon stands for one amino acid (or start or stop). The codons are read in sequence following the start codon until a stop codon is reached. The genetic code is universal, unambiguous, and redundant.
