Question
Chapter 22.10, Problem 2QQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The correct option corresponding to the relationship given by the genetic code has to be stated.
Concept introduction: The allotment of the 64 mRNA codons to specific amino acids gives the genetic code. The genetic code is degenerate because many amino acids are labelled by more than one codon.
