Which of the following is a true statement about the genetic code?

A) The genetic code is composed triplet codes.
B) The genetic code produces 64 different possibilities of codon sequences.
C) Some amino acids are coded for by more than one codon.
D) The genetic code contains start and stop codons.
E) All of the answer choices are true of the genetic code.

Genetic Code

The set of rules by which information encoded in genetic material (DNA or mRNA sequences) is translated into proteins by living cells.

Triplet Codes

Sequences of three nucleotides on DNA or RNA that code for specific amino acids, fundamental to the genetic code and protein synthesis.

Codon Sequences

Specific sequences of three nucleotides in mRNA that specify particular amino acids during the translation process of protein synthesis.

  • Understand how the genetic information is transferred from DNA to protein.

Final Answer :
E
Explanation :
All of the answer choices are true of the genetic code. The genetic code is composed of triplet codes, produces 64 different possibilities of codon sequences, some amino acids are coded for by more than one codon, and the genetic code contains start and stop codons.
