Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsNOT AVAILABLE
According to the genetic code table:
• Leucine is encoded by 6 codons: UUA, UUG, CUU, CUC, CUA, CUG. This makes it one of the amino acids encoded by the highest number of codons, demonstrating strong degeneracy.
• Serine is encoded by 6 codons as well: UCU, UCC, UCA, UCG, AGU, AGC.
• Arginine is also encoded by 6 codons: CGU, CGC, CGA, CGG, AGA, AGG.
• Glycine is encoded by 4 codons: GGU, GGC, GGA, GGG, which is not the highest number compared to the others listed.
