How many codons equals 1 amino acid?

Biology
1 answer:
kondaur [170]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Explanation: The nucleotide triplet that encodes an amino acid is called a codon. Each group of three nucleotides encodes one amino acid. Since there are 64 combinations of 4 nucleotides taken three at a time and only 20 amino acids, the code is degenerate (more than one codon per amino acid, in most cases)
