    The document presents a table showing the genetic code, which specifies how triplets of nucleotide bases (codons) in mRNA are translated to specify the 20 standard amino acids used to build proteins. The table shows that the first letter in each codon triplet determines the amino acid, while the second and third letters provide more specificity about which amino acid will be encoded.
