Answer #1

Answer: -

Question no 20:-TRUE.

EXPLANATION: -

**The genetic code is the set of rules by which information encoded in genetic material (DNA or RNA sequences) is translated into proteins (amino acid sequences) by living cells.

**Those genes that code for proteins are composed of tri-nucleotide units called codons, each coding for a single amino acid.

***There are altogether 64 codons are present.

****Of these 64 codons, 61 represent amino acids, and three are stop signals. But there are only 20 amino acids available.

***Although each codon is specific for only one amino acid (or one stop signal), the genetic code is described as degenerate, or redundant,

***Because a single amino acid may be coded for by more than one codon.
