`->` There are `64` codons for `20` types of amino acids, so most of the amino acids (except two) can be coded by more than one codon. Single amino acid coded by more than one codon is called "Degeneracy of genetic code". This incident was discovered by Baumfield and Nirenberg .
`->` Only two amino acids Tryptophan and Methionine are specified by single codon.
`[tt( ( text (UGC for Tryptophan) ) , ( text (AUG for Methionine.) ) )`
`->` All the other amino acids are specified or coded by `2` to `6` codons .
`->` Leucine, serine and arginine are coded or specified by `6`-codons.
Leucine `= CUU, CUC, CUA, CUG, UUA` & `UUG`
Serine `= UCU, UCC, UCA, UCG, AGU, AGC`
Arginine `= CGU, CGC, CGA, CGG, AGA, AGG`
`->` Degeneracy of genetic code is related to third position (`3' ` - end of triplet codon) of codon. The third base is described as "Wobbly base".
