Degeneration of Genetic codon is attributed to

A. 1^st member of codon

B. 2^nd number of codon

C. 3^rd member of codon

D. The entire codon

Answer: Option C

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Degeneration of Genetic codon is attributed to 3^rd member of the codon.
Degeneracy or redundancy of codons is the redundancy of the genetic code, exhibited as the multiplicity of three-base pair codon combinations that specify an amino acid.
The degeneracy of the genetic code accounts for the existence of synonymous mutations. It results because there are more codons than encodable amino acids.
