The codons specify which amino acid will be added next during protein biosynthesis.With some exceptions, a three-nucleotide codon in a nucleic acid sequence specifies a single amino acid. The vast majority of genes are encoded with a single scheme (see the RNA codon table).That scheme is often referred to as the canonical or standard genetic code, or simply the genetic …
