Open in App
Solution
The correct option is D Ambiguous
The genetic code is specific and this character is maintained by first two bases of codons; the first two bases make strong bonding with the corresponding tRNA. An amino acid encoded by several different codons and the codons differ in either of the first two bases, each codon requires different tRNAs. The genetic code is universal which means that a particular codon specifies a particular amino acid in all the organisms. The mRNA codon "ACU" codes for threonine, irrespective of its source. Genetic code show degeneracy which means that multiple codons specify particular amino acid; asparagine is encoded by "GAU and GAC". The genetic code is unambiguous which means that one codon for one amino acid only; for example, GAA codes for glutamine only. The correct answer is C.
