 For 20 amino acids there should be
20 codons.
 Each codon should have 3
nucleotides to impart specificity to
each of the amino acid for a specific
codon 1 Nucleotide- 4 combinations
 2 Nucleotides 16 combinations 3
Nucleotides- 64 combinations ( Most
suited for 20 amino acids)
 Genetic code is a dictionary that
corresponds with sequence of
nucleotides and sequence of
Amino Acids.
 Words in dictionary are in the form
of codonsnucleotides
 64 codons in total and three out of
these are Non Sense /stop
codons
 61 codons for 20 amino acids
