Chapter 17 From Gene to Protein
... The flow of information from gene to protein is based on a triplet code. Codons are three-nucleotide sequences that specify which amino acids (61 codons) will be added to the growing polypeptide. Codons can also signal when translation terminates (3 codons). The codon for methionine (AUG) acts as a ...

Point mutation
A point mutation, or single base modification, is a type of mutation that causes a single nucleotide base change, insertion, or deletion of the genetic material, DNA or RNA. The term frameshift mutation indicates the addition or deletion of a base pair. A point mutant is an individual that is affected by a point mutation.Repeat induced point mutations are recurring point mutations, discussed below.
