Genetic Code

Question

Which pair of amino acids do not follow the property ‘degeneracy of genetic code’?

Easy

A

Lysine and Arginine
B

Serine and Glycine
C

Methionine and Tryptophan
D

Leucine and Isoleucine

Solution

Methionine (AUG) and Tryptophan (UGG) have only one codon each. Hence, the degeneracy of genetic code is not applicable to these amino acids. The other 18 amino acids are indicated by either two or three or four or six codons.
