What is the major unit of the genetic code?

Answer 1

From time immemorial, every living thing has shared the same basic set of building blocks -- 20 amino acids from which all proteins are made. That is, until now: A group of scientists say they have, for the first time, created an organism that can produce a 21st amino acid and incorporate it into proteins completely on its own. The research should help probe some of the central questions of evolutionary theory.

Answer 2

The major unit of the genetic code is a codon, which consists of three nucleotides in a specific sequence that corresponds to a specific amino acid or a stop signal. Each codon represents a specific instruction for the synthesis of a particular protein during gene expression.

Answer 3

The largest unit of the genetic code is the chromosomes. The main role of DNA in the cell is a long term storage of information in the form of a chromosome.
