Question
There is only one possible sequence of amino acids when deduced from a given nucleotides. But multiple nucleotides sequence can be deduced from a single amino acid sequence. Explain this phenomena
✓

Answer

Some amino acids are coded by more than one codon (known as degeneracy of codons), hence on deducing a nucleotide sequence from an amino acid sequence, multiple nucleotide sequence will be obtained. For e.g., Ile has three codous: AUU, AUC, AUA hence a depeptide Met–Ile can have the following nucleotide sequence:
  1. AUG – AUU.
  2. AUG – AUC.
  3. AUG – AUA.
And if, we deduce amino acid sequence the above nucleotide sequences, all the three will code for Met–Ile.
