The sequence of codons in nucleic acids encodes a specific order of amino acids for making a protein.

The nucleotide is a monomer whose chains form the macromolecules called nucleic acids (DNA and RNA).

The sequence of nucleotides forms nucleic acids, whose main function is to contain genetic information; and RNA, whose main function is protein synthesis.

  • The sequence of the genetic code comprises combinations of three nucleotides, each called a codon and responsible for synthesizing a specific amino acid (polypeptide).

  • The molecules in charge of transporting the amino acids to the ribosome and of recognizing the codons of the messenger RNA during the translation process are the transferring RNAs.

  • The different nucleotides differ from each other in the type of sugar and in the nitrogenous bases they present.

Therefore, we can conclude that the sequence of codons in nucleic acids encodes a specific order of amino acids for making a protein.
