What is gene codon?

Codons are a series of three of the 4 nucelotides (bases) that call for the creation of one of 20 amino acids...or start or stop protein synthesis. Some amino acids have only one codon others have several. A C T G (U in RNA) ATC starts protein synthesis for example


Why is the DNA molecule reffered to as the blue prit of life?

Because, supposedly, the information in DNA is like having a blueprint instruction for building bodies. Actually, blueprint is the wring way to look at DNA. DNA is a recipe for building bodies. In a blueprint the instructions are one to one mapping, but in actuality the instruction are more like the recipe for making a cake. No one can say how the ingredients of a cake map one to one to the final cake no more than one can say how many genes map to human bodies. Google plieotropy and polygenic effects of genes.

In addition to replicating itself for cell division DNA serves as themaster blueprint for?

In addition to replicating itself for cell division, DNA serves as the master blueprint for an organism's structure, function, and development. It contains the genetic information that codes for proteins and regulates various cellular processes, ultimately determining an organism's traits and characteristics. DNA also plays a crucial role in inheritance, passing genetic material from one generation to the next.
