Question
Differentiate between the genetic codes given below:
Degenerate and Initiator

Solution
Degenerate and Initiator:
| Degenerate | Initiator |
| when an amino acid is coded by more than one codon, it is said to be degenerate. | AUG is an initiator codon i.e. it initiates the translation process & also codes for methionine. |
