The genetic code is redundant. What is meant by this statement? (A) A single codon can specify the addition of more than one ami
no acid. (B) The genetic code is different for different domains of organisms. (C) The genetic code is universal (the same for all organisms). (D) More than one codon can specify the addition of the same amino acid.
The genetic code is redundant. The meaning of this statement is that (D) More than one codon can specify the addition of the same amino acid.
Genetic code is a set of three nucleotides (mRNAs) that code for an amino acid together. The concept of given by Francis Crick. These codes are standard in majority of the organisms on Earth, hence the code is universal. For example, UGG codes for tryptophan.
Amino acids are the molecules that are involved in the formation of proteins. They have an amino group as well as a carboxylic group attached to the same alpha-carbon. There are 22 amino acids in the body that are involved in protein synthesis.
