Vedclass · Answer

(B) The genetic code has several key properties:$1$. It is degenerate,meaning some amino acids are coded by more than one codon,but a single codon does not code for more than one amino acid. Thus,statement $(a)$ is incorrect.$2$. The first two bases of a codon are more specific in determining the amino acid,while the third base is less specific. Thus,statement $(b)$ is correct.$3$. The third base of the codon often exhibits the 'wobble' phenomenon,allowing for non-canonical base pairing. Thus,statement $(c)$ is correct.$4$. The genetic code is universal,meaning it is the same in almost all organisms. Thus,statement $(d)$ is correct.Therefore,statements $(b), (c),$ and $(d)$ are correct.

Column-$I$ (Genetic Code)	Column-$II$ (Amino Acid)
$P$. $UAA$	$I$. Proline
$Q$. $CCA$	$II$. Glycine
$R$. $GGC$	$III$. Termination
$S$. $AGU$	$IV$. Serine
