Question
What is not true for genetic code?
Options
A.A codon in mRNA is read in a nin-contiguous fashion
B.It is nearly universal
C.It is degenerate
D.It is unambiguous
Solution
The general features of genetic code are :
(i) The genetic code is written in lineare form, using the ribonucleotid bases that compose mRNA molecule as letters.
(ii) Each word of codon consists of three letters, ie, the codon is triplet.
(iii) The genetic code inside the cell medium is said to be non-ambiguos.
(iv) The code is degenerate, ie, a given amino acid can be spectfied by more the one codons.
(v) The codon contains ′stsrt′ and ′stop′ signals.
(vi) The code is said to be commaless.
(vii) The code is non-overiapping.
