Options

• ambiguity

• doublet

• universality

• commaless

Answer 1

The mRNA AUGCAGAUACGC recognizes four amino acids and this character of the code referred to as commaless.

Explanation:

AUG - Methionine, CAG - Glycine, AVA - Isoleucine, CGC - Arginine are 'commaless' or without punctuation in the given example. It's a feature of the genetic code. In this scenario, when the first amino acid is typed, the next three letters will automatically code the second amino acid.
