State the properties of the genetic code.
Answers
Answer:
Let us discuss about the genetic code. The eight important properties of genetic code are:
1. Code is a Triplet
2. The Code is Degenerate
3. The Code is Non-overlapping
4. The Code is Comma Less
5. The Code is Unambiguous
6. The Code is Universal
7. Co-linearity and
8. Gene-polypeptide Parity
Answer:
The code was 1st decorded by Dr. H.G. khorana
Nucleotide triplet coding a single amino acid is called codon.
property:
1) the genetic Code is triplet and commaless on the m-RNA strand colon arranged one after another.
2) it is not ambiguous, each colon will specify a particular amino acid
3) two or more than two colon are specify the same amino acid, so that genetic codon called as degenerate
4) the genetic colon shows the polarity means has start and stop signals.
5) the genetic codon Is similar in all organism
