Question

This feature is called third-base degeneracy, where codons representing the same amino acid or chemically similar amino acids tend to be similar in sequence, often differing only in the third base. The first and second base may also play a role in determining the amino acid, but the third base is more tolerant of changes due to the wobble hypothesis.
