Type: Match the Following-match the column-Hard-Class 12
Match Column-I with Column-II.
| Column-I | Column-II |
|---|---|
| (a) Codon characteristics | (i) 61 codons for amino acids |
| (b) Triplet nature of codons | (ii) Functions as stop codons |
| (c) Degeneracy of the code | (iii) More than one codon for some amino acids |
| (d) Genetic code universality | (iv) Common across all living organisms |
A
a-i, b-ii, c-iii, d-iv
B
a-ii, b-i, c-iv, d-iii
C
a-iii, b-iv, c-i, d-ii
D
a-iv, b-iii, c-ii, d-i
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The genetic code consists of 61 codons that code for amino acids, and three codons function as stop codons. The codon is a triplet, and some amino acids are coded by more than one codon, showcasing degeneracy. The universality of the genetic code is also a key feature.
