You can read it by the amino acids. The amino acids has a 3letter code with the letters A-T-G-C. By reading the amino acid code you cen read the DNA.

Amino acids have a three letter code. The amino acids enable us to read the genetic code. It contains all the information needed to make a protein. They contain 3 letters codes with A,T,G,C. THere are 20 common amino acids.

The nucleotide sequence transcribed from DNA to a strand of messenger RNA. You can use 4 amino acids to read it. They form in 3 letter codes with the amino acids A,T,C,and G.

the genetic code is like a map it shows all of its traits. people can read the genetic code using DNA.

We are able to read the genetic code by the amino acids. These amino acids have a three letter code in them. They contain Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Thymine or A-T-G-C. There is a total of 20 amino acids.

The sequence of nucleotides in DNA or RNA that determines the specific amino acid sequence in the synthesis of proteins.We can read the genetic code by thier amino acids. The amino acids contain all the information needed to make the protien.

the genetic code is the sequence of nucleotides in DNA or RNA that determines the specific amino acid sequence in proteins, is the biochemical basis of heredity and nearly universal in all organisms. they have three letter codes A, T, G, C.

Amino Acids have a 3 letter code, the possible letters are A, T, G, and C. by deciphering the code, you can read DNA.

Amino Acids have a three letter code. there are 4 possible letters: A, T, G, and C. the codes contain of the genetic information to create proteins. by deciphering this code you can read DNA.

An amino acid has a three letter codethat help us read the genetic code. When there is enough amino acids in the code then it can produce protiens. The three letters are atesine, thymine, guanine and cytosine.

You use amino acids to red DNA's genetic code. They make up a 3 letter code using A,T,G, and C. There are 20 common amino acids.

The nucleotide sequence transcribed from DNA to a strand of messenger RNA acts as a genetic message, the complete information for the building of a protein. A code is needed to convert the language of mRNA into the language of proteins. There are 20 common amino acids, but mRNA contains only four types of bases.

Amino acids allow us to read the genetic code. You need three bases first of all to have amino acids and read the genetic code. There are 4 possible bases to form the amino acid. They are Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, and Cytosine.

DNA has amino acids and each of them has 3 letters A T G C and reading the amino acids we can read the DNA.

sequence of nucleotides in DNA or RNA. you use 4 amino acids to read it. it is A, T, G, and C.

The amino acids in our DNA allow us to read the genetic code. It is made up of three letters. This information is used to make the proteins in our body. The three letter code could be made up in any way using the letters A, T, G, and C. There are 20 common amino acids that can be used.

you can read it by amino acids. information that is contained is used to make protein. it has 3 letter codes
