what should be the nature of genetic code if there would have been 65 amino acids ?
Dear Student.
Please find below the solution to the asked query.
Nature of genetic code doesn't depends on the number of amino acids. It remains the same universally.
There are 20 amino acids and 2 more amino acids are recently discovered. These are selenocysteine and pyrrolysine, which codes for UGA and UAG respectively.
Genetic code is unambiguous means each codon specifies one amino acid only. Example: GUC only codes for valine and no other amino acid.
Genetic code is degenerate means, many codons can code for one amino acid. Example: GUU, GUA, GUG all code for valine
Hope this information will clear your doubts about the topic.
