Assertion is true, but the Reason is falseD. Assertion is false, but the Reason are false
Answer» Correct Answer - B The genetic code is triplet, degenerate,commaless, non ambiguous universal and non-overlaping . The non-overlaping code means that a base in mRNA is not used for two different codons. For example , AUG AGC GCA is not read as AUG GAG (an overlap of two bases) or CGA GCA CA (overlapping of one base
