The degeneracy of the genetic code allows different codons to code the same amino acid. Which of the following codons does NOT code for the simplest amino acid, glycine?
Options:
Answer:
A
Solution:
Some amino acids are coded by more than one codon, hence the code is said to be degenerate. Glycine is the simplest amino acid with a single hydrogen atom as the R-group. 4 codons code for this amino acid - GGG, GGU, GGA, GGC.
GCU, GCC, GCA and GCG code for alanine.
