Two different amino acids will never be encoded by the same codon, which property of genetic code does this represent?

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

The genetic code is unambiguous and specific, which means that one codon codes for only one specific amino acid. It will never code for two different amino acids.

Degeneracy refers to the property where a single amino acid can be coded by multiple different codons.

Non-overlapping means that the sequence of bases is read in discrete sets of three, without any overlap between adjacent codons.

Therefore, the statement that two different amino acids will never be encoded by the same codon represents the non-ambiguous nature of the genetic code.

Answer: Code in non-ambiguous
