Which one of the following pairs is correctly matched with regard to the codon and the amino acid coded by it ?
Options:
Answer:
B
Solution:
Three nucleotides code for one amino acid. As the number of codons is 64 and number of amino acids to be coded is 21, so more than one codons are available for a single amino acid. This B multiple coding system is called degenerate code. Hence, AAA code for lysine.
