codon

Three DNA or RNA nucleotides {codon} can code for amino acids. Up to six codons can code for same amino acid. Codons coding for same amino acid have same first two bases. Coding redundancy can minimize errors. Codons are the same for all species, except for mitochondria. Mitochondrial DNA uses different genetic code for different groups.
