Answer

Correct option: D.

d
(d) : The relationship between the sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide and nucleotide sequence of $DNA $ or $mRNA$ is called genetic code. The genetic code is continuous and does not possess pause after the triplets. So a codon in $mRNA$ is a noncontiguous fashion. If a nucleotide is deleted or added, the whole genetic code will read differently.
