Question

Give the characteristics of genetic code.

Answer 1

Here is your answer buddy,

The genetic code consists of 64 triplets of nucleotides. These triplets are called codons.With three exceptions, each codon encodes for one of the 20 amino acids used in the synthesis of proteins.

Answer 2

Answer:

The characteristics of Genetic code are1 universality 2 specificity 3 non overlapping 4 degenerate

Explanation:

Universality     The same codon codes for same amioi acid in all living organism.The genetic code is conserved in the course of evulation.

specificity A particular codon always codes for a specific amino acid for example AUG codes for methionine

Non overlapping  the genetic code is continuous ,comaless and non overlapping.It is read from a fixed point as a specific base sequence.suppose if mRNA contain a base sequence UUUAUGUGGGCG then it will be read as UUU/AUG/UGG/GCG.

Degeneracy  The code is degenerate.it  means one amino acid can be coded by more than one codon.For example leucine is coded by 6 codons
