DNA serves as the molecular basis for life. DNA copies itself via the process of replication. RNA is produced from DNA via the process of transcription. Proteins are produced from RNA via the process of translation. There are five examples of a base: A, G, C, T, and U. One way that RNA is different from DNA is that it contains Us instead of Ts.

Early geneticists wondered how only four nucleotides can specify the sequence of 20 amino acids in proteins. They hypothesized that there must be a code that linked the nucleotide sequence in a gene to the amino acid sequence in a protein. Each nucleotide code is called a codon. Today we know that there is a genetic code in which __________nucleotide(s) code(s) for each amino acid.
