Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The genetic code is e) Universal.
The universality of the genetic code refers to the fact that with few exceptions, all 64 codons (triplets of nucleotides) have the same meaning across nearly all organisms. This means that a specific codon will code for the same amino acid whether it is in a human, a bacterium, or a plant. This property is one of the remarkable features of the genetic code and is a key reason why genetic material can be transferred between different species through genetic engineering and why such transfers can lead to functional proteins in the recipient organism.
