Question:

Reading frame

Author: AMRIT KAUR



Answer:

- Of the 64 triplets, 61 code for amino acids; 3 triplets are “stop” signals to end translation​ - The genetic code is redundant (more than one codon may specify a particular amino acid) but not ambiguous; no codon specifies more than one amino acid​ - Codons must be read in the correct reading frame (correct groupings) in order for the specified polypeptide to be produced​
