Answered

What are stop codons?

Stop codons are sequences of three nucleotides that signal the termination of protein synthesis in cells.

What does this discovery mean for our understanding of life?

This discovery challenges current assumptions about the genetic code and could potentially explain how life exists.

What happens next?

Researchers will continue to study the genetic code and its implications, potentially leading to new insights into the origins of life.
