    Because most of the amino acids are represented by more than one codon, the genetic code is

    A) overlapping                   

    B) wobbling

    C) degenerate        

    D) generate

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] All amino acids are specified by more than one codon (except tryptophan and methionine). Hence, they are degenerate. Since, there are 64 possible combinations of the four different nucleotides in sets of three, there is a redundancy in the system, which means that most amino acids can be coded by more than one triplet.
