The salient features of genetic code are
A. The codon is triplet, 61 codons for amino acids & 3 codons do not code for any amino acid, they function as stop codon
B. The codon is read in mRNA in contiguous fashion, no punctuations
C. UAA, UAG, UGA are stop terminator codons
D. Some codes are universal
E. AUG has dual function, it codes for phenylalanine (Phe) and it also acts as terminate the process
