Which of these accurately describes the process of translation? a) a single amino acid may have more than one codon that translates for it b) a single codon will translate to different amino acids depending on the organisms c) translation build an amino acid from template of dna d) translation always takes place within the smooth within the smooth endoplasmic reticulum in the cytoplasm

The correct answer is A) a single amino acid may have more than one codon that translates for it.
This property of the codon is called codon degeneracy and is the redundancy of the genetic code. As a result, there is the multiplicity of three-base-pair codon combinations that specify an amino acid and that increases tolerance to point mutations (synonymous mutations). Usually, the codons encoding one amino acid differ in the second or third position.
