What is the genetic code?
The genetic code refers to a group of rules implemented by the living cells in the
translation of encoded information in genetic material to proteins. The ribosome does the
translation. It connects amino acids in messenger RNA’s specified order using molecules of
transfer RNA referred to as tRNA. It also reads the three mRNA nucleotides one at a time. The
genetic code has high similarity in every organism and can express in a common 64 entries table
(Hagan, Frank and Leah 13). The code explains how codons identify the amino acids that will be
included next during protein synthesis. A codon with three nucleotides in a sequence of nucleic
acid shows one amino acid. Most of the genes are encoded using one scheme known as the
standard or canonical genetic code.
What does the genetic code (DNA) do?
The genetic code enables cells to have an amount of information that is mind-boggling.
The DNA code has the required instructions to generate the essential molecules and proteins for
human beings' health, development, and growth. The instructions make proteins (Hagan, Frank,
and Leah 18). The sequence of A, C, G, and T bases in DNA gives the unique code of genetics
and gives the necessary instructions for making body molecules.

Understanding genes assist us in having an understanding of variation since most of the
variations exist among populations. Human genetic variation analysis confirms that humans
share most of their information about genes with the entire world. Genetic regions’ nature with
high conservation in a considerable distance of evolution is common in development genes.
Understanding genes enables us to understand human beings (Hagan, Frank, and Leah, 26).
Genes have human welfare's practical value, and we can understand and explain the evolution of
man. Learning different genes across a population enables us to understand how they differ
among individuals, families, and ethnicities.
