Indicate whether each of the following statements about the genetic code is a. true b. false. 1. the genetic code is read in groups of 4 bases. 2. the genetic code includes specific start and stop codons. 3. the genetic code is the same in almost all living organisms.

1. the genetic code is read in groups of 4 bases. TRUE- adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine

2. the genetic code includes specific start and stop codons. TRUE- for each gene, there isa start codon (TAC) and one of several stop codons

3. the genetic code is the same in almost all living organisms. FALSE- different species all the way up to Kingdoms have differences in their genome, which account for their physical and physiological differences
