There are 64 codons, that code for only 20 amino acids. This make the genetic code redundant - because different codons can code for the same amino acid.
This provides some protection against mistakes - because a replacement of a single base may end up coding for the same amino acid - causing no change to the final protein product.

Which statement best explains why some changes in DNA sequence do not change the corresponding protein?
The genetic code is redundant
The genetic code for protein synthesis is found within what?
The genetic code for protein synthesis is formed from Dna.
Is mRNA used to carry the genetic code from DNA to ribosomes?
mRNA carries the genetic code to a ribosome.
What is the master copy of an organisms genetic code?
The master copy of an organism's genetic code is the DNA.
What part of nucleotide contains the genetic code?
strand of DNA
Which statement best explains why some changes in DNA sequence do not change the corresponding protein?
The genetic code is redundant
Is DNA genetic code or genetic blueprint?
DNA is the genetic code
What is the ICD-9 code for Bulky free flap right heel?
Redundant skin. The ICD-9-CM code is 701.9, and to journey it out in the book you start with "redundant".
What is the genetic code code for?
instruction stored in the gene in the form genetic code.
Where is the Genetic code is caried?
DNA carries the genetic code.
Who was the inventor of the genetic code?
The genetic code was not invented, it was discovered!
What is the genectic code?
genetic code is genetic information only.
What is secondary genetic code?
The secondary genetic code is the folding of protein.
What are the Components of genetic code?
The genetic code is carried by the macromolecule DNA. In particular, the sequence of nitrogen bases on the DNA determines the genetic code.
What component contains the genetic code?
The genetic code is carried in the DNA on the chromosomes.
Do all organisms share the same genetic code?
yes all living things are based on a genetic code.
Whai is the difference between CRC and hamming code?
In CRC, the redundant bits are derived from binary division to the data unit. While in hamming code, the redundant bits are a function of length of the data bits.
