Mitochondrial codons

Vedclass · Answer

(D) The genetic code is nearly universal,meaning that a specific codon codes for the same amino acid in almost all organisms,from bacteria to humans. However,there are exceptions to this universality. Mitochondrial codons often deviate from the standard genetic code (checkerboard table) used by nuclear $DNA$. Therefore,mitochondrial codons are the correct answer as they do not follow the standard universal genetic code.

Genetic Code	Amino Acid	Anticodon
$a$	$Met$	$b$
$GGA$	$c$	$d$
$UUA$	$e$	$f$
$g$	$h$	$ACA$

The genetic code of the checkerboard (codon table) is not applicable to which of the following?
