Answer 2

• A codon is a nucleotide sequence of 3 bases that call for the respective 3 amino acids.
• The cell can read 3 bases at a time and hence the codon contains 3 bases.
• 61 combinations call for an amino acid. 3 combinations result in stopping the synthesis.
• In total there are 64 codons present.
• Since the codons respectively correspond to an amino acid, we will require 3 codons to specify three amino acids.
