Codon Degeneracy
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Codon degeneracy means most amino acids are specified by more than one codon, so the genetic code maps 61 sense codons onto only 20 amino acids.
Show
Leucine is specified by six different codons, while methionine is specified by only one.
Watch for
Degeneracy means multiple codons can specify the same amino acid — no single codon specifies more than one amino acid.
