Coding Strand of DNA
When pointing to DNA transcription, the coding strand is found to be the DNA strand whose base sequence is indistinguishable from the base sequence of the RNA transcript developed. It is this strand that comprises the codons, while the non-coding strand …
Nucleotide
Both DNA and RNA are composed of organic molecules known as nucleotides. Hence, nucleotides are known as the basic building blocks of nucleic acids. These substances play a role in various processes such as cell signalling, enzyme reactions, metabolism, …
Structure of Cytosine
Cytosine is among the five primary nitrogenous bases of which DNA and RNA and are being used in storage and transportation of genetic makeup within a cell. Adenine, guanine, thymine as well as uracil are the remaining four nucleobases.

Chapter 25, Problem 100P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason as to why the genetic code is called degenerate is to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

The term DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid. Deoxyribonucleic acid is the most important biomolecule that stores genetic information of living organism, in other words DNA is the blue print of all organisms. The DNA first synthesizes RNA and then the RNA synthesizes the proteins that are used to do different function in living systems.
