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

Every single codon specifies more than one amino acid.

Every single amino acid has more than one codon.

The first two bases of the codon specify the amino acid.

abhisar · Answer

yes its B

somy · Answer

1 codon specifies only 1 amino acid

somy · Answer

but each amino acid has several codes :)

somy · Answer

and those codes are only for that amino acid

abhisar · Answer

like CGU, CGC, CGA, CGG all code for argenine

abhisar · Answer

but each of them only code for argenine

somy · Answer

good example @Abhisar  :D
