The sequence of bases (A, C, G, T) represent both functional genes and accumulated genetic material from millions of years of evolution. The "junk DNA" doesn't code for functional genes (which are templates for proteins that are made within the cell) but scientists are starting to realize that it still plays a vital regulatory role in modulating gene expression.

What is codonand what does it represent?

A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides in DNA or RNA that codes for a specific amino acid or a stop signal during protein synthesis. Codons represent the basic unit of the genetic code and are essential for determining the sequence of amino acids in a protein.
