Vedclass · Accepted Answer

Ambiguous

Vedclass · Answer

(B) The correct answer is $B$. The genetic code is non-ambiguous. $A$ non-ambiguous code means that one codon specifies only one particular amino acid. There are $64$ codons in total. Out of these,$3$ are stop codons (nonsense codons) which do not code for any amino acid,and the remaining $61$ code for $20$ amino acids. Since one codon always codes for only one specific amino acid,the code is not ambiguous.
