Answer:

E. Each codon represents a different amino acid.

Explanation:

The genetic code refers to the set of rules guiding the translation of nucleotide bases in DNA or RNA into an amino acid sequence (proteins). The genetic code contains all the codons in the genome, which is a group of three nucleotide base (triplet-based). Each codon species a particular amino acid, however, more than one codon can code for a particular amino acid. This characteristics of the genetic code is called DEGENERACY.

The genetic code is said to be nearly universal because the same codon encodes the same amino acid in almost all living organisms with only few exceptions. The nonoverlapping nature of the genetic code refers to the fact the three bases of a codon are read independently from the bases of another codon i.e. codons do not overlap.

A codon represents one amino acid but more than one codon can represent the same amino acid. Hence, option E is untrue

Claim and evidence:

puteri [66]

It would happen that the effectiveness of an original vaccine could become less if there was a mutation in the virus that caused the protein spike to change because the antibodies created would not be specific for the new virus.

<h3>What would happen to the mutated virus?</h3>

Vaccines trigger an immune response to fight disease-causing organisms, a mutation in the virus to be fought would change the effectiveness of this immune response, as the specificity would not be the same with the mutant virus.

With this information, we can conclude that The immune response would not be specific for the new virus that caused the protein spike to change.
