Answer

  1. Both assertion and reason are true, and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

Explanation:

For a particular amino acid, more than one codons can be used. This phenomenon is described by saying that the code is degenerate. A non - degenerate code would be one where there is one to one relationship between amino acids and the codons, so that 44 codons out of 64, will be useless or nonsense codons. However, there are no nonsense codons. The codons which were earlier called nonsense codons are also known to mean stop signals.
