In the context of the genetic code, what is the relationship between DNA codons and proteins?
A
Each three-nucleotide DNA codon (via transcription to mRNA) specifies an amino acid or a stop signal, and the ordered codons determine the amino acid sequence of a protein.
B
Each DNA codon specifies exactly one complete protein, independent of other codons in the gene.
C
DNA codons are amino acids themselves, and proteins are made by joining codons together.
D
Each DNA codon directly forms a peptide bond between amino acids without the involvement of mRNA or ribosomes.
