Observe the table and answer the given question:
|
Identify the amino acids with one codon each? |
Phenylalanine and Tryptophan Phenylalanine and Methionine Methionine and Glycine Methionine and Tryptophan |
Methionine and Tryptophan |
The correct answer is Option (4) → Methionine and Tryptophan The genetic code is the set of rules by which information encoded in genetic material (DNA or RNA sequences) is translated into proteins by living cells. It determines how sequences of nucleotide bases (adenine [A], cytosine [C], guanine [G], and thymine [T] in DNA or uracil [U] in RNA) correspond to amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. Amino acids like tryptophan and methionine are coded by only one codon. |
