The genetic code is based upon reading 3 bases at a time

there are 4 nucleotides bases in DNA and 20 amino acids .
In order to incorporate all the amino acids we consider 3 bases in genetic code
4 x 4 x 4 = 64

if we would take 2 bases -
4x4 = 16 that would leave out 4 amino acids without a code .

What was Mendel's explanation for the fact that 0% of the offspring from this cross were green?
VMariaS [17]
So Mendel got roughly 75% yellow and 25% green in f2. This means that f1 contains all heterozygous genes, as shown below

Y y
Y YY Yy
y Yy yy
Summary: 75% YY or Yy, 25% yy

Which means that green (y) is a recessive phenotype, while yellow (Y) is a dominant phenotype, since plants with heterozygous genotype Yy express the yellow trait.
