An exact protein is produced only if all the amino acids (the building blocks) are in the correct sequence. Even is one amino acid is not in the right sequence (or even missing) the protein would not be able to correctly function. It may not be able to function at all.

Since the genetic code is responsible for the creation of a protein, this has to be absolutely accurate in order to create functional proteins

what is the genetic code stored in DNA is used to produce protein products?

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.
