Question : What is not true for genetic code ?

Answer»

A codon in m RNA is read in a non - contiguous fashion
It is nealry universal
It is degenerate
It is unambiguous

Solution :The general features of genetic code are
(i) The genetic code is WRITTEN in linear form , using the ribonucleotide bases that compose mRNA molecule as LETTERS.
(ii) Each word of codon consists of THREE letters, i.e., the codon is triplet.
(iii) The genetic code inside the cell medium is said to be non - ambiguous.
(iv) The code is degenerate , i.e. a given AMINO ACID can be specified by more than onecodons.
(v)The codon contains start and stop signals.
(vi) The code is non - overlapping.
