A code for each amino acid is composed of a sequence of three nucleotides known as a codon. The genetic code includes 64 codons that correspond to 20 amino acids, enabling the synthesis of proteins in organisms. Some amino acids are encoded by multiple codons, showcasing the degeneracy of the genetic code.
