GCSE Biology · key term
A sequence of three DNA bases that codes for a particular amino acid.
Used by AQA and OCR
Specification 4.6.1.5 · Paper 2
Revise: DNA Structure and the Genetic CodeRead the bases in groups of three: each triplet codes for a particular amino acid. For instance, an illustrative stretch written as ACG GTT shows two successive triplets. Each corresponds to an amino acid, so their order helps determine the order of amino acids in the growing protein.
Specification B1.2e · Paper 1 (Foundation), Paper 3 (Higher)
The use of successive groups of three bases along a gene to specify the order of amino acids in a protein.
Paper 1 (Foundation), Paper 2 (Foundation), Paper 3 (Higher), Paper 4 (Higher)
A group of three consecutive nucleotides that codes for a particular amino acid.
Revise: Coding for ProteinsEach group of three nucleotides is a triplet, and each triplet codes for a particular amino acid.
A sequence of three nucleotide bases that codes for one amino acid.
