Question
There is only one possible sequence of amino acids when deduced from a given nucleotides. But multiple nucleotides sequence can be deduced from a single amino acid sequence. Explain this phenomena
✓
Answer
Some amino acids are coded by more than one codon (known as degeneracy of codons), hence on deducing a nucleotide sequence from an amino acid sequence, multiple nucleotide sequence will be obtained. For e.g., Ile has three codous: AUU, AUC, AUA hence a depeptide Met–Ile can have the following nucleotide sequence:
- AUG – AUU.
- AUG – AUC.
- AUG – AUA.
