BIOXII06: MOLECULAR BASIS OF INHERITANCE

342765 Degeneracy refers to

1 One amino acid has more than one code triplet
2 One amino acid has only one code triplet
3 Codons which specify the same amino acids defer only in the third base of the triplet
4 Both 1 and 3
BIOXII06: MOLECULAR BASIS OF INHERITANCE

342766 Statement A :
One codon codes for only one amino acid, hence, it is unambiguous and specific.
Statement B :
The Genetic code is nearly universal.

1 Statement A is correct but Statement B is incorrect.
2 Statement A is incorrect but Statement B is correct.
3 Both statements are correct.
4 Both Statements are incorrect.

342767 The arrangement of three bases in the genetic code signifies a specific

1 Amino acid
2 Protein
3 Plasmid
4 Nucleic acid
BIOXII06: MOLECULAR BASIS OF INHERITANCE

342768 UAA, UAG, and UGA are known as non-sense codons because they

1 Do not code for any amino acid
2 Code for amino acids, which are not essential amino acids
3 Code for the initiator amino acid (methionine), which is later removed from the polypeptide chain
4 Are never present on mRNA
