What is genetic code what does it code for and what are the letters of the code?

The genetic code is the sequence of nucleotides (represented by letters) found on DNA (or RNA).
This codes for functional products (proteins) which determine the functions of cells. The genetic code, interacting with an organism's environment, determines the physical traits of that organism.
The letters found in DNA are A, T, C and G. These represent the nitrogenous bases Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C) and Guanine (G).

Why would a change in DNA sequence change that organism?
In an organism, a genetic code is made by the cells, but in that genetic sequence, if one or more letters are change, replaced, or deleted, then those cause mutations in the organism In an organism, a genetic code is made by the cells, but in that genetic sequence, if one or more letters are change, replaced, or deleted, then those cause mutations in the organism
Who was the inventor of the genetic code?
The genetic code was not invented, it was discovered!
What is the genectic code?
genetic code is genetic information only.
What is a codon in biology?
Three-nucleotide sequence on messenger RNA that codes for a single amino acid. :)
Do all organisms share the same genetic code?
yes all living things are based on a genetic code.

Is DNA genetic code or genetic blueprint?
DNA is the genetic code
What is the genetic code code for?
instruction stored in the gene in the form genetic code.
Where is the Genetic code is caried?
DNA carries the genetic code.
Who was the inventor of the genetic code?

What is the genectic code?
genetic code is genetic information only.
What is secondary genetic code?
The secondary genetic code is the folding of protein.
What are the Components of genetic code?
The genetic code is carried by the macromolecule DNA. In particular, the sequence of nitrogen bases on the DNA determines the genetic code.
What is a codon in biology?
Three-nucleotide sequence on messenger RNA that codes for a single amino acid. :)
What Material in nucleus that contains genetic information?
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) contains the genetic information inside cells. The genetic information itself is a code of letters out of 4 possible nitrogen bases (A,T,G,C) eg. ACGTATGCATGGT. A gene is a portion of this code that has information for the construction of one type of protein chain.
What component contains the genetic code?
The genetic code is carried in the DNA on the chromosomes.
Do all organisms share the same genetic code?
yes all living things are based on a genetic code.
