Answer #1

Answer:-

It means that even if each codon is specific for only one amino acid but the genetic code is redundant I.e a single amino acid is coded by more than one codon . Eg-leucine is coded by CUU, CUC, CUA and CUG. Extra codons are there because even when small variations in codon occur, they still result in same amino acid.
