Question

The human genetic code is triplet in nature with 64 codons made using four nucleotides. If the human genetic code was doublet in nature, the number of codons theoretically possible from four nucleotides is ______. (Answer in integer) (NAT)

Explanation

This outcome reflects Mendelian segregation, where allele distribution and recombination generate phenotypic variation. Option NAT captures this correctly because it follows segregation and linkage principles, consistent with textbook descriptions and experimental observations in genetics.
