Question #2
In genetic code, how many codons code for the amino acid tryptophan?
A. 2
B. 6
C. 1
D. 4

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Tryptophan is encoded by a single codon, UGG. Methionine (AUG) is also encoded by a single codon. The other amino acids have multiple codons (degeneracy). For example, leucine has 6 codons. The single codons for Trp and Met are significant as they are less likely to tolerate mutations.

The condition caused by excessive secretion of growth hormone in adults is:
A. Cretinism
B. Gigantism
C. Dwarfism
D. Acromegaly

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Acromegaly results from overproduction of growth hormone after the epiphyseal plates have fused, causing enlargement of hands, feet, jaw, and facial features. Gigantism occurs when excess GH is produced during childhood, leading to tall stature. Dwarfism is GH deficiency, cretinism is congenital hypothyroidism.
