Answer:
When a single amino acid is encoded by more than one codon.
Explanation:
Degeneracy is when a single amino acid is encoded by more than one codon. This pehonomenon was first described by Lagerkvist where there are more codons than amino acids that could be encoded.
mRNA or Messenger RNA
mRNA transcribes the genetic code from DNA into a form that can be read and used to make proteins. mRNA carries genetic information from the nucleus to the cytoplasm of a cell.<span>rRNA or Ribosomal RNA
rRNA is located in the cytoplasm of a cell, where ribosomes are found. rRNA directs the translation of mRNA into proteins.</span><span>tRNA or Transfer RNA
Like rRNA, tRNA is located in the cellular cytoplasm and is involved in protein synthesis. Transfer RNA brings or transfers amino acids to the ribosome that correspond to each three-nucleotide codon of rRNA. The amino acids then can be joined together and processed to make polypeptides and proteins</span>

If the DNA is GAT what will be the amino acid?
Answer-Leucine
If the DNA is TAG what will be the amino acid be?
Answer-Isoleucine
If the RNA is UAU what will the amino acid be?
Answer-Tyrosine
The right answer is chromosome > DNA > gene.
Living cell element, of characteristic shape and in constant number, located in the nucleus of the cell.
DNA, which is our chromosome, carries the genes
. The DNA molecule, also known as deoxyribonucleic acid, is found in all our cells.
The gene is a piece of this DNA that corresponds to a particular genetic information that codes for a single protein. So it's a very small portion of chromosome.
