Question

Genetic codes can be universal and degenerate. Write about them, giving one example of each

Answer 1

Answer:

ii)One codon codes for only one amino acid, hence, it is unambiguous and specific. (iii)Some amino acids are coded by more than one codon, hence the code is degenerate. ... (v) The code is nearly universal. For example, from bacteria to human, UUU would code for phenylalanine (Phe).
