Why is degeneracy of the genetic code very important in protein synthesis?Group of answer choicesBecause of imprecision/wobble in the pairing of the third base of the anticodon, thus the presence of the unusual base, inosine.There is no inspection device at the third position, so more varied base-pairs are tolerated and therefore less mutations.Minimizes the deleterious effects of mutationsA and CAll of the above

The genetic code is said to be degenerate because there are 64 different codons, but translation produces only 20 unique amino acids.  The degeneracy of the genetic code is due to which mechanism?A.Exclusion of protein coding regions from mature mRNAB.Errors during tRNA chargingC.Ambiguity of the tRNA for the amino acidD.Nontraditional base pairing of the anticodon with the third base of the codon

When a base substitution mutation does not result in a change in the amino acid sequence of a protein (due to the degeneracy of the genetic code), we say that this mutation is:Multiple choice question.sense.silent.degenerate.beneficial.

What is the purpose of the code formed by the bases along DNA?

Flexibility in the base-pairing rules in which the nucleotide at the 5’ end of a tRNA anticodon can form hydrogen bonds with more than one kind of base in the third position (3’ end) of a codon.Group of answer choicesRNA splicingalternative RNA splicingmissense mutationsilent mutationnucleotide substitutionwobbleNext

Which of the following is true about the genetic code?Group of answer choicesIt is universal, without exception.Several codons may code for the same amino acidAll codons recognized by a given tRNA encode different amino acidsThe base in the middle of the anticodon is responsible for wobble .None of the above
