Q. What is not true for genetic code?

A) It is nearly universal
B) It is degenerate
C) It is unambiguous
D) A codon in mRNA is read in a non-contiguous fashion
Explanation

[Solution from source] The genetic code is read in a contiguous way, codon after codon without punctuation, so a 'non-contiguous' reading is false. It is indeed nearly universal, degenerate (several codons per amino acid) and unambiguous (one codon codes for one amino acid). Answer (4).
