Unambiguous, universal and degenerate are some of the terms used for the genetic code. Explain the salient features of each one of them.

Unambiguous nature - It means that one codon codes for only single amino acid and are specific.
Degenerate – coding of some amino acids are done by more than one sets of codon therefore, they are termed as degenerate.
Universal - sequence of codon represents specific amino acids and are unique to all organisms
