On 1999/08/09  14:33, Christopher Wynter posted thus to the K-list: 
Codons are three-nucleotide sequences on the mRNA.  In this manner the amino 
acids are organized 
into the correct sequence to build a protein. The ribosome works with the mRNA 
and tRNA to hook the 
amino acids together to form a protein.
 
The genetic code 
<http://pegasus.uthct.edu/ResUTHCT/Investigators/SBlack/geneticd.html> is the 
alphabet of the genes. Genes are words <http://darwin.cshl.org/> written using 
the four letters of 
that alphabet, A, C, G, and T <http://www.mblab.gla.ac.uk/dictionary/>. And the 
words, the genes 
themselves code for proteins <http://www.mblab.gla.ac.uk/dictionary/> made of 
their building brick, 
the amino acids <http://www.mblab.gla.ac.uk/dictionary/>. A combination of three 
letters, e.g. ATG, 
are the code for a certain building brick, or amino acid. Each combination of 
such three letters is 
called a codon <http://www.gdb.org/Dan/DOE/prim6.html>. Each codon specifies an 
amino acid.
 
With respect ...
