In genetics, one codon codes for only one amino acid, hence it is unambiguous and specific. Since the codon codes for the same amino acid in any organism. It is universal. For example, from bacteria to human UUU would code for phenylalanine (Phe). Some exceptions are found in mitochondrial codon and in some protozoans
Genetic code is specific and nearly universal. Justify.
