Answer:

Degenerate.

Explanation:

The genetic code has following properties -

  • It is a triplet codon.
  • It is non-overlapping.
  • It is comma-less.
  • It is non-ambiguous.
  • It is degenerate.
  • It has stop and start codons.

Out of these properties the Property of Degeneracy has been used in the situation mentioned in the question. Due to degeneracy of the genetic code, more than one codons can code for a single amino acid. Property of degeneracy in the code minimizes the mutational lethality.

What is the name of the oxidized form doesn't have h attached of the electron carrier in photosynthesis?
KiRa [710]
In photosynthesis, an electron carrier of the light cycles is the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate or NADP. This is the oxidized form, because the reduced form of this carrier has the extra H (NADPH). This is somehow related to the electron carrier called nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide or NAD (minus the phosphate).
