21.Identify the INCORRECT statement regarding genetic code A. Genetic code is triplet or three letter code B. Genetic code is commaless C. Genetic code is ambiguous D. Genetic code is degenerate
Option C Since there are 64 triplet codons and only 20 amino acids, genetic code is non-ambiguous. Non-ambiguous code means that there is no ambiguity about a particular code. One codon specifies only one amino acid and not any other except GUG which normally codes for valine but in certain conditions it also codes for N-formyl methionine as initiation codon.
