There are 64 codons, that code for only 20 amino acids. This make the genetic code redundant - because different codons can code for the same amino acid.
This provides some protection against mistakes - because a replacement of a single base may end up coding for the same amino acid - causing no change to the final protein product.
It means that some amino acids can be specified by more than one codon. Another term for this is the genetic code is degenerate.
Even though two codons can code for 1 amino acid, neither ever specifies any other aminos.
the code presents a tremendous stability and regularity to genetic processes.
Redundant: Some amino acids can be specified by more than one codon.
Unambiguous: Each codon specifies a particular amino acid and only that amino acid.
An amino acid can have more than one three letter codon coding for it Google codon table and you will see this happen.

Which statement best explains why some changes in DNA sequence do not change the corresponding protein?
Some changes in DNA sequence do not change the corresponding protein because of redundancy in the genetic code. This means that multiple codons can code for the same amino acid, providing a buffer against some mutations. Additionally, silent mutations can occur where a nucleotide change does not affect the amino acid sequence due to the degeneracy of the genetic code. Lastly, changes in non-coding regions of DNA do not impact protein sequences but can still affect gene regulation.
Is mRNA used to carry the genetic code from DNA to ribosomes?
mRNA carries the genetic code to a ribosome.
Is there another genetic code besides DNA?
N, all currently know Animals and Plants have DNA as their genetic code.
DNA is the nucleic acid responsible for transcribing the genetic code?
Not exactly. DNA contains the genetic code; RNA is what transcribes it.
Why is the mRNA code for amino acids said to be redundant?
The code for creating amino acids is said to be redundant because some codons code for the same amino acid (i.e. there is redundancy because several codons have the same function). For example, the RNA codons AAA and AAG both code for the amino acid Lysine. The codons ACU, ACC, ACA and ACG all code for Threonine.
What is the ICD-9 code for Bulky free flap right heel?
Redundant skin. The ICD-9-CM code is 701.9, and to journey it out in the book you start with "redundant".
Is DNA genetic code or genetic blueprint?
DNA is the genetic code
What is the genetic code code for?
instruction stored in the gene in the form genetic code.
Where is the Genetic code is caried?
DNA carries the genetic code.
Whai is the difference between CRC and hamming code?
In CRC, the redundant bits are derived from binary division to the data unit. While in hamming code, the redundant bits are a function of length of the data bits.
What is secondary genetic code?
The secondary genetic code is the folding of protein.
What are the Components of genetic code?
The genetic code is carried by the macromolecule DNA. In particular, the sequence of nitrogen bases on the DNA determines the genetic code.

What component contains the genetic code?
The genetic code is carried in the DNA on the chromosomes.
Is the genetic code is arbitrary?

How does genetic engineering rely on a shared genetic code?
for the genetic engenerring to take place it needs genetic code like for a car to drive you need to put gas in it. its simple
