To determine: The problems encountered while translating double and a triplet genetic code.
Introduction: Genetic code corresponds to the relationship between codons of nucleic acids and the amino acids they code. It is unambiguous, degenerate, and codons with a similar sequence code for amino acids with similar chemical properties. There are 64 possible codons that code for 20 amino acids.
