Differentiate between the genetic codes given below :
(a) Unambiguous and Universal
(b) Degenerate and Initiator
(a)
Unambiguous | Universal |
One codon codes for only one amino acid | Genetic code/ codons are same for all organisms / from bacteria to human. |
(b)
Degenerate | Initiator |
More than one codon coding for the same amino acid. | Start codon/ AUG |
