21 Redundancy Nucleotides are read in groups of 3 pairs, called codons e.g., AAT, CGA, TGA Each codon codes for a particular amino acid Because there are 64 codons and only 20 amino acids, many acids can be produced by more than one codon Result: you cannot infer the structure of a gene from the sequence of amino acids in the protein it produces
