Question

Following are the features of genetic codes. What does each one indicate?
Stop codon; Unambiguous codon; Degenerate codon; Universal codon.

Answer 1

Features of the genetic code:
Stop codon: Signals termination of translation and does not code for any amino acid.
Unambiguous codon: Each codon codes for only one amino acid.
Degenerate codon: More than one codon can code for a specific amino acid.
Universal codon: One codon codes for the same amino acid in all species.
