Answer;
The above statement is true
Most organisms contain the same codons
Explanation;
- Codons are the three nucleic acid bases, that codes for a particular amino acids, and are carried by the messenger RNA, which carries the information for making proteins.
- These codons are then decoded by the transfer RNA which carries the anticodons, that transfers amino acids to ribosomes and helps the assembling into proteins. There can be more than one codon for the same amino acid.
- The genetic code is said to be universal because a codon represents the same same amino acid in almost all organisms.
