In bears, the codon UUU codes for the amino acid phenylalanine. In mice, the codon

AAA codes for the amino acid lysine. In cats, the codon AAU codes for the amino acid
asparagine. In dogs, the codon GGG codes for the amino acid glycine. Which amino
acid would the codon AAA code for in alligators?


A:Glycine//Because the genetic code is not universal

B:Lysine//Because the genetic code is universal

C:Asparagine//Because the Genetic code universal

D:Phenylalanine// Because the genetic code is not universal
