State the conditions when ‘genetic code’ is said to be i. degener

1.	State the conditions when ‘genetic code’ is said to be i. degenerate, ii. unambiguous and specific, iii. universal.
Answer» i. Degenerate—When some amino acids are coded by more than one amino acids. ii. Unambiguous and specific—When one codon codes for only one specific amino acid. iii. A particular codon codes for same amino acid in all organisms except in mitochondria and few protozoa.
