Answer:

The correct answer is option C. "A single tRNA specific for a particular amino acid may respond to multiple codons in an mRNA".

Explanation:

Genetic code is said to be "degenerate" because there are more codons than amino acids, which is possible because a single tRNA specific for a particular amino acid may respond to multiple codons in an mRNA. tRNA recognize the codons of the mRNA by a specific nucleotide sequence called anticodon, however the nucleotide sequence of the anticodon can recognize more than one codon sequence. This phenomenon takes place at the third position of the codon and is known as "wobble".

Answer;

-Polygenic inheritance

Explanation;

-Polygenic inheritance occurs when one characteristic is controlled by two or more genes. Often the genes are large in quantity but small in effect.

-Examples of polygenic inheritance in nature can be found in many places: in human height, skin color, and hair color; in animal size, longevity, or disease resistance; and in plants with grain color, length of maize, or flower size. All of these traits are influenced by multiple genes and considered polygenic.
