kodons
Kodons, in Turkish usage, refer to the triplet units of genetic code that specify amino acids or signals during protein synthesis. The English equivalent is codon. Kodons are defined in DNA and RNA: in DNA the letters are A, C, G, T; in RNA T is replaced by U. During transcription, the DNA sequence is copied into mRNA, which is read in consecutive kodons by ribosomes.
Each kodon consists of three nucleotides; there are 64 possible kodons. Most kodons encode amino acids; three
The genetic code is degenerate: multiple kodons can code for the same amino acid, reducing potential impact
Universality and variation: The code is nearly universal among organisms, with some exceptions in mitochondria and
In linguistics and education, kodon terminology is used in Turkish-language texts and discussions to refer to
