Genetic code - Wikipedia
Genetic code is a set of rules used by living cells to translate information encoded within genetic material (DNA or RNA sequences of nucleotide triplets or codons) into proteins.

Codon | Definition, Function, & Examples | Britannica
codon, in genetics, any of 64 different sequences of three adjacent nucleotides in DNA that either encodes information for the production of a specific amino acid or serves as a stop signal to terminate translation (protein synthesis).

Codon - National Human Genome Research Institute
A codon is a DNA or RNA sequence of three nucleotides (a trinucleotide) that forms a unit of genomic information encoding a particular amino acid or signaling the termination of protein synthesis (stop signals).

What Is a Codon? The Genetic Code Explained - ScienceInsights
A codon is defined as a sequence of three nucleotides found on the messenger RNA molecule. These nucleotides are the building blocks of RNA—Adenine (A), Uracil (U), Cytosine (C), and Guanine (G).

Codon - Definition and Examples - Biology Online Dictionary
Because the collection of codons on mRNA forms the genetic code, a codon is the smallest unit of genetic code. In simple terms, each codon actually encrypts a specific amino acid. It may also code for a signal to stop or start the process of protein synthesis in a cell. See Figure 1.

What is a Codon Chart? A codon chart is described as a key that translates three-nucleotide groups into amino acids, and it is presented usually as a table or circle. A codon is formed by three bases (triplet), and it is represented on the chart as combinations like AUG, GCU, UGA, etc.

What Is Codon Usage and How Does It Affect Gene Expression?
Within every living cell, genetic information is stored in DNA and then used to create proteins. A codon is a fundamental unit of this genetic information, consisting of a sequence of three nucleotides.

Definition of codon - NCI Dictionary of Genetics Terms
Certain codons signal the start or end of translation. These are called start or stop (or termination) codons. Transcription and translation are processes a cell uses to make all proteins the body needs to function from information stored in the sequence of bases in DNA.
