Genetic Code

Question

From the following, identify the correct combination of salient features of Genetic Code :-

Easy

A

Universal, Non-ambiguous, Overlapping
B

Degenerate, Overlapping, Commaless
C

Universal, Ambiguous, Degenerate
D

Degenerate, Non-overlapping, Non-ambiguous

Solution

Some amino acids are coded by more than one codon, hence the code is degenerate. One codon codes for only one amino acid, hence it is non-ambiguous.
The codon is read in mRNA in a contiguous fashion. There are no punctuations. The genetic code is non-overlapping i.e.. no single base can take part in the formation of more than one Codon.
