Which of the following statements about the genetic code is FALSE? OmRNA is read 3 bases at a time and these units are called codons. Each amino acid is coded for by only one codon. There are 3 termination codons that do not code for amino acids. Each codon is specific for only one amino acid. There is one initiator codon and it codes for an amino acid.

Which of the following statements regarding the genetic code is false? Each codon codes for only one amino acid. Each amino acid is encoded by a single codon. There is a single initiation codon. Three different codons function to terminate translation. The genetic code is nearly universal.

Which of the following statements concerning the genetic code is FALSE? Select one: One codon never codes for more than one amino acid. The first two bases are usually identical when multiple codons specify the same amino acid. Most organisms share the exact same genetic code except a few bacterial families that use completely distinct genetic code (no instructions in common). All amino acids except two are encoded by more than one codon.

What is false regarding codons in mRNA molecules? Choose one: A. Codons in mRNAs bind to complementary anticodons in tRNAs. B. Some codons do not code for amino acids. C. In some cases, several different codons code for the same amino acid. D. All codons contain three nucleotides. E. Some codons code for more than one amino acid.
