When more than one codon code for the same amino acid, this is called as
  • A
    Universal nature of genetic code
  • ✓
    Redundancy of genetic code
  • C
    Punctuation in genetic code
  • D
    Continuous nature of genetic code
✓

Answer

Correct option: B.
Redundancy of genetic code

(b) The genetic code is degenerate, i.e., it lacks specificity and one amino acid often has more than one code triplet.

Only methionine and tryptophan have single triplet codon.
