∙ 13y agoThe order of the four nitrogen bases, or nucleotides, in the DNA molecule is called the genetic code. It's a set of rules that maps DNA sequences to proteins in a living cell, and is used in the process of protein synthesis.
The general structure of them is the same (sugar phosphate backbone, contains nitrogen bases, etc.) but the strands will have a different order of nitrogen bases that are complimentary to each other.
The genetic code stored in DNA is the sequence of nitrogen bases. The sequence of nitrogen bases determines the sequence of amino acids in a protein, and the sequence of amino acids determines the structure and function of a protein.
The order of the nitrogen bases along a gene forms a genetic code that specifies what type of protein will be produced
A codon is made up of a sequence of three nucleotides. In DNA, a nucleotide contains the sugar deoxyribose, a phosphate group, and one of four nitrogen bases; adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine. In RNA, a nucleotide contains the sugar ribose, a phosphate group, and one of four nitrogen bases; adenine, uracil, guanine, and cytosine. Each codon represents an amino acid, or a start or stop signal.
Proteins are made up of amino acids. All amino acids contain nitrogen. A complete absense of nitrogen would halt protein synthesis.
In DNA, the 4 bases are guanine, cytesine, thymine and adenine. In RNA, also used in protein synthesis, instead of adenine, there is urasil

The two strands of DNA nucleotides are held together by hydrogen bonds between complimentary nitrogen bases. Adenine pairs with guanine and cytosine pairs with thymine. When it is time for a cell to reproduce, and during protein synthesis, an enzyme called helicase breaks the hydrogen bonds between the two strands. This way DNA can be replicated in preparation for cell reproduction or it can be used as a template for protein synthesis.
During protein synthesis, three continuous bases on a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule, known as a codon, encode different amino acids. Codons on the mRNA are translated into the amino acid sequence of a protein by the ribosome.

Complimentary bases are bases that fit together. (Guanine and Cytosine & Adenine and Thymine). A & T are complimentary. G & C are, too. They are bases (the letters) that fit together on a double helix. Complimentary bases are bases that fit together. (Guanine and Cytosine & Adenine and Thymine). A & T are complimentary.

The hydrogen bonds between complimentary nitrogen bases hold the two strands of DNA nucleotides together.
tRNA contains an anticodon which is a sequence of three nitrogen bases that is complimentary to a particular mRNA codon.
