遗传密码是一组规则,将DNA或RNA序列以三个核苷酸为一组的密码子转译为蛋白质的氨基酸序列,以用于蛋白质合成。 它决定肽链上每一个氨基酸和各氨基酸的合成顺序,以及蛋白质合成的起始、延伸和终止。 遗传密码又称密码子、遗传密码子、三联体密码,匿藏了生命及其历史演化的秘密。
科学家们提供了线索来了解决定每个身体特征的遗传密码。
Scientists provided the key to understanding the genetic code that determines every bodily feature.
记住,DNA 是任何生物体的遗传密码。
由于同卵双胞胎来自于一个分裂成两个的受精卵,他们实际上共享相同的遗传密码。
Because identical twins come from a single fertilized egg that splits into two, they share virtually the same genetic code.
The genetic code is said to be degenerate because I can read in one direction.
遗传密码的这种性质称为简并性,我可以从一个方向去解读
That creates a problem in the genetic code in that there's 64 possible sequences but there's only 20 some amino acids, so each amino acid can be specified by more than one codon.
这里有个问题,遗传密码有六十四种可能的序列,而只有二十种氨基酸,因此每种氨基酸都有,不止一种密码子与之对应
As shown in this cartoon here, again you don't need to know the details of this, but if you're interested in knowing what's the biological bases of the genetic code this is it.
像这个动画里画的那样,这里你也不需要了解细节,不过如果你很有兴趣想知道,遗传密码的生物学基础
