Answer 2

Option D. UUA and UUC

Explanation:

• A degenrated gentic  is that codon which leads to  the same amino acids.
• It also means that it allows different codons to degenrate the same amino acids.
• The other examples are AUG and UGG.
• In such example we need to remeber the names of the combinations so we have UUA and UGG , tryptophan and methonine.
