NEETBiologyMolecular Basis of InheritanceMCQ+4 / −1
Out of 64 codons, 61 codons code for 20 types of amino acid it is called : -
  1. A
    Wobbling of codon
  2. B
    Universility of codons
  3. C
    Overlapping of gene
  4. D
    Degeneracy of genetic code
View written solutionFree

Correct answer: D

Out of 64 codons, only 3 signify stop codons. There are more than one codon for most of the amino acids, the genetic code is non-over lapping. Three successive nucleotides or bases code for only one amino acid wobbling refers to the third base degeneracy.
