Answer:
An amino acid can be encoded by more than one codon.
Explanation:
Codons are triplets of nucleotides in mRNA that are used for the protein synthesis (translation). A codon specifies a single amino acid, but there are exceptions. tRNA molecule contain anticodons, triplets of nucleotides that are complementary to codons. So, during the translation, tRNA carries the amino acid, that corresponds to the codon in mRNA.
Degenerate genetic code (more than one codon can code for the same amino acid) is important, because when point mutation occurs it is possible that the amino acid remains unchanged.
Fluorescent in situ hybridization (Fish) is a method employing a fluorescent dye covalently bonded to a specific nucleic acid probe identifying or tracking organisms in the environment. Fluorescent in situ hybridization (fish) can be used to determine; how many salmonella typhimurium cells are present in a sample of unpasteurized apple juice, the phylogenetic diversity of an environmental sample and also whether a specific piece of mRNA is being produced.
