Question

Which of the following factors ensures that coding for the same amino acid, such as methionine and valine, using identical anticodons remains non-ambiguous?

• A. Redundancy of the genetic code.
• B. Degeneracy of the genetic code.
• C. Complementary base pairing between codons and anticodons.
• D. The presence of start and stop codons in the mRNA.

Hint:

Degeneracy of the genetic code allows multiple codons to code for the same amino acid. This is a key feature that ensures the robustness and flexibility of the genetic code in protein synthesis.
