Question

chains of nucleic acids have directionality and are read in a certain way just like languages are read from \left to right\ or
ight to left.\ dna is always read in the 3 to 5 direction, whereas rna is read in the 5 to 3 direction. there is a certain grammar to the genetic code, or rules to follow so that the message can be effectively translated from dna into functional protein. codons are 3 base \words\ that code for specific amino acids. they are nonoverlapping and never have gaps between repeat the words.

Explanation:

DNA is read in the 3' to 5' direction during transcription. RNA is synthesized in the 5' to 3' direction. Codons are non - overlapping triplets of nucleotides that code for amino acids and do not have gaps between them or repeat in a way that would disrupt the genetic code reading.

Answer:

The blanks are filled correctly as shown: DNA is read in the 3' to 5' direction, RNA is read in the 5' to 3' direction, codons are 3 - base "words", and they are nonoverlapping and do not have gaps between or repeat in a way that disrupts reading.
