The premature termination of polypeptide synthesis due to stop codon can be overcome via compensatory mutation in tRNA. This genetic phenomenon is called
(1) extragenic suppression
(2) intragenic suppression
(3) codon bias
(4) true reversion
Suppose, evolution on earth had occurred in such a way that there are 96 amino acids instead of 20. DNA has 12 different types of bases and DNA synthesis occurs in the same way as today. The minimum number of bases per DNA codon would be
(1) 12
(2) 8
(3) 2
(4) 3
