Many amino acids are specified by more than one codondegeneracy (简并性). Codons specifying the same amino acid are called synonyms (同义密码子). TABLE 15-1 The Genetic Code
Detail 1: Code Degeneracy 1 Often, when the first two nucleotides are identical the third nucleotide can be either C or U without changing the code. A and G at the third position are interchangeable as well 2. Transition in the third position of a codon specifies a same amino acid. Transversion in this position changes the amino acid about half the time

Code degeneracy explains how there can be great variation in the AT/Gc ratios in the dna of various organisms without large changes in the proportion of amino acids in their proteins
