Identify giving reasons, the salient features of genetic code by study

1.	Identify giving reasons, the salient features of genetic code by studying the following nucleotide sequences of mRNA strand and the polypeptide translated from it?
Answer» Prosperities of genetic code: - AUG is the initiation codon and codes for methionine; methionine is the first amino acid in the given polypeptide. - Genetic code is unambiguous and specific, i.e., each codon codes only for on particular amino acid. - Genetic code is degenerate, i.e., more than one codon code on one amino acid. - Each codon is a triplet, i.e., made of three nucleotides e.g., AUG, UUU, etc. - UAG does not code for any amino acid, it is a termination codon.

Prosperities of genetic code:

- AUG is the initiation codon and codes for methionine; methionine is the first amino acid in the given polypeptide.

- Genetic code is unambiguous and specific, i.e., each codon codes only for on particular amino acid.

- Genetic code is degenerate, i.e., more than one codon code on one amino acid.

- Each codon is a triplet, i.e., made of three nucleotides e.g., AUG, UUU, etc.

- UAG does not code for any amino acid, it is a termination codon.
