Question

Why is the genetic code considered as commaless?

Answer 1

Answer:Genetic code considered as commaless because it is continuous and non overlapping.

Explanation:

Genetic code is continuous,commaless and non overlapping,Genetic code contain many codons that are arranged in a particular array to form open reading frame. The genetic code is read as a continuous base sequence .

     Addition or Deletion of base sequence to  or from the open reading frame leads to frameshift mutation resulting the formation of disease causing proteins.

         suppose if mRNA contain bse squesence such as UUUAGGGACUGGCUA then is read as UUU/AGG/GAC/UGG/CUA

Answer 2

As genetic information is continuous and does not overlap, it is considered to be comma less.

Explanation:

The Genetic is considered as comma less because-

• There is no gap or space between the triplet codons on the m-RNA molecule, which is why genetic information is considered to be comma less.
• An open reading frame is formed from many codons arranged in an array. Genetic information is represented as a continuous sequence.

• This is continuous, comma less and non-overlapping.
