There are 64 possible codons in the genetic code.
There are 64 possible different codons (4 nucleotides in a sequence of 3), including 61 codons that code for amino acids and 3 stop codons.
There are 61 codons that specify the twenty types of amino acids, since multiple codons can code for the same amino acid due to the redundancy of the genetic code.
The answer to this question is 64 CODONS. Codons are the "words" consisting of the "letter" bases, which are a, u, g, and c. EXAMPLE: AUG (Methionine) and CAG (Glutamine) AUG and CAG are just two of the 64 possible codons.
A codon consists of a series 3 nucleotides. There are 4 possible nucleotides. These 4 nucleotides could appear in any combination with any number of repeats. That being the case, to find the possible number of mRNA codons requires simple math:4 * 4 * 4 = 64So there are 64 possible codons.
Codons consist of three bases. Each codon corresponds to a specific amino acid or a stop signal in the genetic code.
The genetic code for proteins is composed of three-letter sequences known as codons. There are a total of 64 possible codons, which correspond to the 20 amino acids used to build proteins, as well as specific start and stop signals.

There are 64 possible triplets. At least one of the triplets needs to be a stop codon, so theoretically 63 different amino acids can be coded for. In practice, there's some redundancy, and in humans all codons are either stop codons or translate to one of twenty amino acids.
The answer to this question is 64 CODONS. Codons are the "words" consisting of the "letter" bases, which are a, u, g, and c. EXAMPLE: AUG (Methionine) and CAG (Glutamine) AUG and CAG are just two of the 64 possible codons.
When a gene is translated into a polypeptide, the codons (each made up of three sequential bases) are sequential on the mRNA. There are no extra bases between the codons, every base in the open reading frame is part of exactly one codon. Furthermore, every possible codon (all 64 three base combinations of the four bases) codes for either an amino acid, or a "stop", so there are no meaningless codons.If the code had "commas" that would mean that there could be bases between codons, or that some triplets would not code for any amino acid (or "stop"). In the 1960's, when researchers were first investigating the nature of the genetic code, the presence of commas in the code seemed like a reasonable hypothesis, particularly once it was established that the code was a triplet code, which means that there are many more possible codons than amino acids (64 vs 20).

1. the start codon 2. 150 codons, 1 for each amino acid 3. the stop codon The total number of different codons is 64...if this question is asking about unique codons used the answer will depend on which amino acids are in the peptide.
There are four codons in AAA UGC UCG UAA. A codon is a sequence made of three nitrogenous bases. Codons have particular features, making it possible for them to be start codons, stop codons, introns, or exons.
