Differentiate between the genetic codes given below : (a) Unambiguous and Universal (b) Degenerate and Initiator

Solution

(a) Unambiguous and Universal : - Unambiguous : - The code is specific, i.e. one codon codes for only one amino acid. Universal : - The code is same in all organisms. (b) Degenerate and Initiator : - Degenerate : - When an amino acid is coded by more than one codon, it is said to be degenerate. Initiator : - AUG is an initiator codon i.e. it initiates the translation process & also codes for methionine.
