I: | It is nearly universal among all organisms. |
II: | It is ambiguous, meaning that one codon can code for multiple amino acids. |

1. | The genetic code is universal; codons specify the same amino acids in all organisms. |
2. | The genetic code varies significantly among different organisms. |
3. | Each amino acid is specified by only one codon. |
4. | The genetic code is ambiguous, with one codon coding for multiple amino acids. |
