Of the 64 possible codons in the genetic code:

Question

Accepted Answer

B. 61 code for amino acids and 3 are stop (terminator) codons (UAA, UAG, UGA)

**61 codons = amino acids, 3 codons = stop (UAA, UAG, UGA)**.
The code is **degenerate** (most amino acids have multiple codons), **non-overlapping**, **read 5′→3′ without punctuation**, and **nearly universal**.

Answer

All 64 code for amino acids

Answer

None code for amino acids

Answer

20 code for amino acids and 44 are stop codons
