Answer:

This means that one amino acid can be coded by more that one codon.

Explanation:

A triplet code that code for an amino acid during translation is called genetic code. The genetic code is said to be redundant because a single amino acid can be coded by more that one triplet codon.  

So there can be synonymous codon for one amino acid. For example, leucine, serine, and arginine have 6 synonymous codons.

The genetic code is unambiguous also because each triplet codon can only code for a particular single amino acid. Genetic code is also universal which means the same code is used in all life forms.

The another are differentiated from the anamniotes by the presence of their terrestrially adapted eggs. These eggs are protected by amniotic membranes. Development of these membranes have provided another with their own aquatic environment needed for development.

The development of amniotic membrane is a characteric of amniotic eggs. These membranes include: chorion' facilitating the exchange of gases between the embryo and the mother; amnion, protection the embryo from injuries and shock and also aiding hydration; allantois, excretion of nitrogenous waste such as urea and uric acid etc and also help in respiration.

Another characteristics is waterproof skin due to the presence of lipids.

Another is the existence of costal rib ventilation of the lungs: enables of loss of CO2 through the lungs rather than buccal pumping as foumd in anamniotes.
