1.	Write about the following protein synthesis‐ (i) Name the location where the protein synthesis occurs?(ii) How do 64 codones code for only 20 amino acids?
Answer» (i) Protein synthesis occurs at the ribosome in cytoplasm. (ii) The 64 codones for 20 amino acids; more than one codon can code for same amino acids, e.g., CUU and CUU both can code leucine. Proline is encoded by CCU, CCA, CCG, and CCC.
