Mel122 Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 (edited) Degeneracy is the phenomena of having more than 1 codon coding for 1 amino acid. So non-degenaracy is when 1 codon codes for 1 amino acid. Unambiguity is also defined similarly; 1 codon can code for only 1 amino acid. Are there any differences between the two terms?

Genady Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 (edited) Yes, they are different. Degeneracy and non-degeneracy refer to how many codons, one or more, code for 1 amino acid. OTOH, ambiguity and unambiguity refer to how many amino acids, one or more, 1 codon codes for. Edited September 26 by Genady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
