### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Codon Structure**: The genetic code is composed of codons, which are triplets of nucleotides. Each codon consists of three nucleotides that together specify a single amino acid. 2. **Total Codons**: There are a total of 64 codons in the genetic code. Out of these, 61 codons code for amino acids, while 3 are stop codons (UAA, UGA, UAG) that signal the termination of protein synthesis. 3. **Unambiguous and Specific**: Each codon is unambiguous and specific, meaning that each codon corresponds to only one amino acid and does not code for more than one. ...
