| 1. | The codon is triplet |
| 2. | The code is nearly universal |
| 3. | The code has punctuations |
| 4. | Some amino acids are coded by more than one codon, hence the code is degenerate |
(A) The code is palindromic
(B) UGA act as initiator codon
(C) The code is unambiguous and specific
(D) The code is nearly universal
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
| 1. | (A) and (D) only | 2. | (B) and (C) only |
| 3. | (A) and (B) only | 4. | (C) and (D) only |
| Statement I: | The codon AUG' codes for methionine and phenylalanine. |
| Statement II: | AAA' and 'AAG are both codons that code for the amino acid lysine. |
In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
| 1. | Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect. |
| 2. | Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct. |
| 3. | Both Statement I and Statement II are correct. |
| 4. | Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect. |
From the following, identify the correct combination of salient features of the Genetic Code:
| 1. | Universal, Non-ambiguous, Overlapping |
| 2. | Degenerate, Overlapping, Commaless |
| 3. | Universal, Ambiguous, Degenerate |
| 4. | Degenerate, Non-overlapping, Non-ambiguous |
If there are 999 bases in an RNA that codes for a protein with 333 amino acids, and the base at position 901 is deleted such that the length of the RNA becomes 998 bases, how many codons will be altered?
| 1. | 11 | 2. | 33 |
| 3. | 333 | 4. | 1 |
The one aspect which is not a salient feature of genetic code, is its being:
1. degenerate
2. ambiguous
3. universal
4. specific
What is not true for genetic code?
1. A codon in mRNA is read in non-contiguous fashion
2. It is nearly universal
3. It is degenerate
4. It is unambiguous
1. GUU, GCU - Alanine
2. UAG, UGA - Stop
3. AUG, ACG - Start/methionine
4. UUA, UCA -Leucine
