trinucleotide

Example:The trinucleotides in the DNA sequence are linked to form the genetic code.

Definition:Deoxyribonucleic acid, a molecule that carries the genetic instructions used in the growth, development, functioning, and reproduction of all known living organisms and many viruses.

Example:Trinucleotides in RNA molecules can code for specific amino acids during protein synthesis.

Definition:Ribonucleic acid, a macromolecule that is made of a polymer of nucleotide units and acts in the cell as the molecular carrier of information.

Example:Understanding the trinucleotide sequence in the genetic code aids in deciphering how proteins are synthesized.

Definition:The information that determines the sequence of amino acids in proteins, encoded in nucleotide sequences in DNA and RNA.
