AIIMS 2018 Botany Genetic Code MCQ Question

The genetic code is indeed triplet in nature, meaning that each amino acid is specified by a sequence of three nucleotides, or codons. In this case, CGU, CGC, and CGG are all codons that specifically code for the amino acid arginine (Arg), demonstrating the redundancy of the genetic code where multiple codons can correspond to the same amino acid. Since options B, C, and D are not provided, they cannot be evaluated, but it is important to note that any codons not listed that do not correspond to arginine would be incorrect. Understanding this redundancy is crucial for grasping how genetic information is translated into proteins.
