Vedclass · Answer

(D) The correct answer is $D$. The genetic code is the relationship between the sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide and the nucleotide sequence of $DNA$ or $mRNA$.Genetic code is continuous and does not possess pauses (commas) between the triplets.Therefore,the statement that a codon in $mRNA$ is read in a non-contiguous fashion is false.If a nucleotide is deleted or added,the entire reading frame shifts,which is known as a frameshift mutation.
