[[de:Genetischer Code]]
The '''genetic code''' is a translation table for how triplets of adjacent [[nucleotide|bases]], called ''[[codon|codons]]'', specify [[amino acid]]s in [[protein]] biosynthesis. In this process, the bases in the [[DNA]] from a gene are first copied into a molecule of [[mRNA]] during [[transcription]], certain sections of the [[mRNA]] are spliced out, and then amino acids are linked to it by molecules of [[tRNA]] during [[translation]]. Some codons do not specify an amino acid, called STOP codons, which as a result end the translation process.
