Using the codon table below, what conclusions can be drawn about the genetic code? Three codons do not code for amino acids. Many amino acids are encoded by multiple codons. The 64 codons are roughly evenly distributed between the 20 amino acids. Each codon includes all four of the bases U, C, A. and G.

Answer

Genetic code can be defined as the coding dictionary that
specifies the meaning of each base sequence occurring in mRNA to
code for a specific amino acid. The genetic code has properties
like;

1. Genetic code is degenerate that means several codons of the
genetic code have the same meaning.

2. The genetic code is specific that means each codon
specifically codes for an amino acid.

3. The genetic code is universal that means each codon always
specifies same amino acids in all organisms but have few
exceptions.

4. The genetic code is nonoverlapping that means it is
continuous and not separated by any punctuation marks so as the
mRNA reads it as continuous coding sequence.

In genetic code three codons do not code for any amino acid
because they are STOP codons. Except Methionine, all other amino
acids are encoded by more than one codon. Therefore, options 1 and
2 are correct.
