Question

Among the 64 codons, three function as stop signals. Most amino acids are encoded by multiple codons, and the genetic code is non-overlapping. Each set of three consecutive nucleotides specifies a single amino acid. The term 'wobbling' describes flexibility at the third position of the codon.

Accepted Answer

a) Correct. The statement is true as it correctly describes the genetic code's properties, including stop codons, degeneracy, non-overlapping nature, and wobble hypothesis.
