उत्तर
Usually, the single amino acid is encoded by a single codon. However, some amino acids are encoded by more than one codon. e.g. Cysteine has two codons, while isoleucine has three codons. This is called the degeneracy of the code. Degeneracy of the code is explained by the Wobble hypothesis. Here, the first two bases in different codons are identical but the third one varies.
