Genetic Code and Translation: Deciphering the Blueprint of Life
1. The following are all characteristics of the genetic code except: a) Universalb) Degeneratec) Non-overlappingd) Ambiguous Correct Answer: d) Ambiguous Explanation: The genetic code has several key characteristics: Universal → The same codons specify the same amino acids across nearly all organisms, with few exceptions (e.g., mitochondrial genomes). Degenerate → Multiple codons can code for
