To differentiate between the genetic codes as requested, we will break down the definitions and characteristics of each type of genetic code mentioned in the question. ### (a) Unambiguous and Universal 1. **Unambiguous Code**: - Definition: An unambiguous genetic code means that each codon (a sequence of three nucleotides) specifies only one particular amino acid. - Example: For instance, the codon UUU always codes for the amino acid phenylalanine. There is no ambiguity in this coding; UUU will not code for any other amino acid. ...
