1.	What is meant by degenerate codon?(a) Two codons can be read in different frame o give different amino acids(b) Codons are not having a gap(c) Specific codon codes for specific amino acid(d) Two codons can code for same amino acidI had been asked this question by my school principal while I was bunking the class.This interesting question is from Genetic Code in portion Gene Expression : Translation of Cytogenetics
Answer» The correct CHOICE is (d) Two codons can code for same amino acid The best explanation: Degeneracy means that there can be two or more codons that can code for same amino acid with there being TRIPLET CODON and 4 BASES there are 64 possible combinations and only 20 amino acids. This was then observed that different codon COULD be degenerate i.e. code for same amino acid.
