DNA is specific because it has
number of nucleotides
specific nature of phosphate and sugar
arrangement of protein in DNA
specific nature of purine and pyrimidines

During translation initiation in prokaryotes, a GTP molecule is needed in
association of 30S, mRNA with formyl-met-tRNA
association of 50S subunit of ribosome with initiation complex

In the genetic code dictionary, how many codons are used to code for all the 20 essential amino acids?
61
60
20
64
A.
61
Out of 64 codons, three (UM, UAG, UGA) are chain terminating codons. The translating mechanism is not able to read these codons.
(a) 61 codons are used to code all the 20 essential amino acids.
(b) Out of 64, 3 codons, UAA, UAG, UGA do not code any amino acid molecule
