The triplet code can produce 64 possible codon combinations. What is an advantage of this

variations is the simple answer. You only have 20 animo acids and you have 64 triplet possibilities. 3 of those possibilities are stop codons that terminate the translation (UAA,UAG,UGA) so really you have 61 possibilities for unique amino acids. I am not an expert in genetics and translation the first chart on this wikipedia link really sums it up well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Start_codon Enjoy!
