What are the three main properties of the genetic code?
Triplet code - a sequence of three bases (called a codon) codes for an amino acid. Degenerate code - more than one codon can code for a single amino acidnon-overlapping - the bases in the genetic code are read in sets of three that do not overlap. In other words each base is only read once, it is not read again as part of another set of three.
