Best Answer

I think you are referring to translation - translation is the process of replicating the DNA sequence in order to produce a code for the production of a particular protein, known as an mRNA strand. This code is read in sequences of three bases known as codons. The beginning and end of the mRNA strand is determined by start and stop codons. Start codons, unlike stop codons, also need nearby sequences and initiation factors in order to begin translation. Start codons include base sequences of usually AUG or possibly GUG or UUG depending on the organism. There are three stop codons and these are UAG, UGA and UAA

a "start" and "stop" codon tell where the DNA molecule transcription begins and ends.
