Question

The one aspect which is not a salient feature of genetic code, is its being

Options

A.degenerate
B.ambiguous
C.universal
D.specific

Solution

The genetic code is degenrate, ie, a given amino acid can be specified by more than one codons.
The genetic code inside the cell medium is said to be non-ambiguous because a perticular codon always codes the same amini acid. But in certain are cases the genetic code is founds to be ambiguous, ie, some codons code for different amino acids under different conditions. The gentic code is almost universal.
