If following is the sequence of nucleotides in mRNA, predict the sequence of amino acid coded by it: AUG UUU UUC UUC UUU UUU UUC. Can you now correlate which two properties of genetic code you have learnt ?

Solution
Met-Phe-Phe-Phe-Phe-Phe-Phe Genetic codes are unambiguous (one codon codes for only one amino acid) and degenerate (some amino acids are coded by more than one codon).
