Key differences, features, and comparative analysis of Property and Meaning.
| Property | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Triplet | Three bases = one codon = one amino acid |
| Degenerate | Most amino acids have more than one codon |
| Unambiguous & specific | One codon codes for only one amino acid |
| Nearly universal | Same codons across most organisms (e.g. UUU = Phe everywhere) |
| Non-overlapping & commaless | Read continuously, base by base, without gaps |
