Question

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

• A. non-overlapping
• B. ambiguous
• C. triplet
• D. specific

Answer 1

The correct option is B ambiguous

The salient features of genetic code is mentioned below:
Non-overlapping code: Genetic code is non-overlapping which means that successive triplets are read in order.
Triplet: Genetic code is triplet in nature. Three adjacent nitrogen bases constitues a codon which specifies one amino acid.
Unambiguous: The genetic code is unambiguous because one codon codes for only one amino acid and is specific
