Triplet

Vedclass · Answer

(C) The genetic code has several key characteristics: $1$. It is $Triplet$: Each codon consists of three nitrogenous bases. $2$. It is $Universal$: The same codon codes for the same amino acid in almost all organisms (from bacteria to humans). $3$. It is $Unambiguous$ (Non-ambiguous): One codon codes for only one specific amino acid. Since the option $Ambiguous$ is incorrect (the code is non-ambiguous) and the code is both $Triplet$ and $Universal$,the question implies identifying the correct properties. However,in standard multiple-choice formats,if $Triplet$ and $Universal$ are both correct,the question structure often points to the most defining feature. Given the options,$Triplet$ is a fundamental property,but since $Universal$ is also correct,and $Ambiguous$ is false,'All of the above' is technically incorrect. The most accurate single answer is $Triplet$.
