4.The code is degenerate（遗传密码间存在简并现象）, that is, a given amino acid can be specified by more than one triplet codon. This is the case for 18 of the 20 amino acids. 5.The code contains “start” and “stop” signals. Certain triplets that initiate and terminate translation. Only 61 of the 64 codons specify amino acids; these codons are called sense codons（有义密码子）. The other three codons — UAG, UAA, and UGA — do not specify an amino acid. These three codons are the stop codons（终止密码子）, also called nonsense codons（无义密码子）, or termination codons（终止密码子）. AUG 6.The code is nearly universal.（遗传密码的通
