Ribosomes are the part of the cell affected by the genetic code. Ribosomes are cellular structures responsible for protein synthesis, which is the process of creating proteins based on the instructions encoded in the genetic code. The genetic code, in the form of messenger RNA (mRNA), carries the information necessary to determine the sequence of amino acids in a protein.
