$\huge\mathcal\pink{\boxed{\boxed{Answer}}}$

❥The code for each amino acid consists of three nucleotides, called as Codon.

$\huge\underline\bold\pink{ᴇxᴛʀᴀ \: ɪɴғᴏʀᴍᴀᴛɪᴏɴ}$

• 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).

Answer 2

The cipher for each amino acid consists of three nucleotide , called as CODON.

1. CODON are genetic cipher that translate a genetic material (DNA or RNA) into protein.
2. A CODON specifies the amino acids which is to be added during protein synthesis.
3. it consist of three nucleotide in a nucleic acid specifying the amino acid.
4. there are 64 codons and three stop codons .
5. the name of the 3 stop codons are - amber, ochre and opal.
