The genetic code is considered degenerate because
A. more than one codon can code for a single amino acid
B. one codon can code for multiple amino acids
C. more than one anticodon can bind to a given codon
D. only one anticodon can bind to a given codon
E. none of the above
I understand why A is correct, but i was wondering if C said "one anticodon can bind to more than one codon" would that be a correct statement?
Did I just reword it and it still says the same thing? I'm starting to confuse myself and would appreciate some insight. Thanks!
