The salient features of genetic code are : (A) The code is palindromic (B) UGA act as initiator codon (C) The code is unambiguous and specific (D) The code is nearly universal Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
  1. $(A)$ and $(B)$ only
  2. $(C)$ and $(D)$ only
  3. $(A)$ and $(D)$ only
  4. $(B)$ and $(C)$ only
