Suppose evolution on earth had occured in such away that there are 96 amino acids instead of 20 . DNA has 12 different types of bases and DNA synthesis occurs in the same way as today. The minimum number of bases per DNA codon would be what?

Question

Arun · Answer

Dear student

one base per codon,(12)^1= 12 codon, which can code 12 AA only but given AA is 96

two bases per codon,(12)^2= 144 codon, which is sufficient to code for 96 AA

and in ques we have to find MINIMUM NUMBER, so min no bases per codon is 2
