Explanation:
As we know that there are only four nucleotides namely deoxyadenosine, deoxyguanosine, deoxythymidine and deoxycytidine. Further, there are 20 essential amino acids that are to be encoded by these four nucleotides.
A triplet code could make a genetic code for 64 different combinations (4 × 4 × 4) genetic code. A code of single nucleotides would give only four amino acids to be translated. The doublet code would code for 16 amino acids (4 × 4).
