Vedclass · Answer

(B) The genetic code is a set of rules by which information encoded in genetic material ($DNA$ or $mRNA$ sequences) is translated into proteins by living cells.Specifically,the sequence of nucleotides in $mRNA$ (codons) dictates the specific sequence of amino acids that will be linked together to form a polypeptide or peptide chain.Therefore,the genetic code determines the primary structure of proteins,which is the sequence of amino acids.
