Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Which of the following statements is true about protein synthesis in prokaryotes? Translation can begin while transcription is still in progress. The nucleotide sequence of the coding strand of a DNA molecule is shown below.
Detailed explanation-2: -The correct option is: (b) The third base of the codon is less specific. Explanation: Genetic code shows degeneracy i.e., occurrence of more than 1 codon per amino acid. All the amino acids except methionine and tryptophan are coded by more than 1 codon.
