Protein Synthesis Review

How does the genetic code ensure that proteins are made accurately in all cells of Michael's body?

• By changing the sequence of amino acids

• By allowing multiple codons for a single amino acid

• By using a different code for each cell type

• By using a universal code shared by all organisms
