Expert Solution
Step 1

DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid is a polymer of deoxyribonucleotides that join together via a 3'-5' phosphodiester bond. DNA contains all the genetic information a person has. However, for the expression of this information present in DNA, it must replicate and transcribe its information into another molecule called RNA. RNA specifically the mRNA (messenger RNA) carries the genetic information in the form of Codons. A single codon consists of three nucleotides and each codon codes for a single amino acid. There are 20 amino acids incorporated into proteins and 64 different codons. Out of these, 61 codons code for amino acids and the three are stop codons and do not code for any amino acid (exceptions are there).
