From the following, identify the correct combination of salient features of the Genetic Code:

  1. A
    Universal, Non-ambiguous, Overlapping
  2. B
    Degenerate, Overlapping, Commaless
  3. C
    Universal, Ambiguous, Degenerate
  4. D
    Degenerate, Non-overlapping, Non-ambiguous

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The genetic code has several key features:Degenerate: Some amino acids are coded by more than one codon.Non-overlapping: Codons are read in a continuous sequence of three bases.Non-ambiguous: One codon always codes for only one specific amino acid.Universal: The code is nearly the same in all organisms.Commaless: There are no punctuations between codons.
