What are the properties of genetic code?

The properties of genetic code include:

• Triplet code: sequence of 3 nucleotides
• It is non-ambiguous: a specific codon will only code for a particular amino acid
• It is universal: code is valid for all organisms
• Degenerate code: some codons can code for the same amino acid
• Non-overlapping code
• Commaless
• Have start and stop codons
• Polarity: each triplet is read from 5’ to 3’
