Class 12 NEET Biology Molecular Basis of Inheritance Questions Part 1

A codon or triplet of bases specifies a given amino acid. Most amino acids are specified by more than one codon. The conversion of codon information into proteins is conducted by transfer RNA. Each transfer RNA (tRNA) has an anticodon which can base pair with a codon. Some anti-codons have modified bases that can pair with more than one codon, specifying the same amino acid.
