Question
Because most of the amino acids are represented by more than one codon, the genetic code is
Options
A.overlapping
B.Wobbling
C.degenerate
D.generate
Solution
Degeneracy means lack of specificity. Presence of more than one meaningful codons for an amino acid is called degeneracy eg, methionine and tryptophan has single code each. The maximum number of codons for amino acid is six eg, serine, arginie and leucine.
