AI Generated Solution

To explain the phenomenon where there is only one possible sequence of amino acids deduced from a given nucleotide sequence, but multiple nucleotide sequences can correspond to a single amino acid sequence, we can break it down into the following steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Genetic Code**: - The genetic code consists of triplets of nucleotides called codons. Each codon corresponds to a specific amino acid or a stop signal during protein synthesis. 2. **Codon-Amino Acid Relationship**: ...
