In the coding dictionary, there are 64 codons as `:`

A

64 amino acids are to be coded

B

64 types of tRNAs are present

C

there are 44 non - sense codons and 20 sense codons

D

genetic code is triplet

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
It has been found that a sequence of 3 consecutive bases in a DNA molecule codes for one specific amino acid . So , genetic codes is a triplet code and there are 64 triplets which are called codons `(4xx4xx4x=64)` of notrogen bases for protein synthesis.
