Question

Unambiguous, universal and degenerate are some of the terms used for the genetic code. Explain the salient features of each one of them.

Answer 1

Unambiguous states that each codon will code for only one amino acids.

Degenerate states that one amino acid can be processed by more that one codon

Genetic code -- the three-letter codons -- direct the assembly of exactly the same amino acids in nearly every organism on Earth. Bacteria, plants and you all use exactly the same genetic code
