Source sentences:
text: Each codon is composed of three nucleotides and is degenerate, continuous and non-overlapping.
text: Codons are considered degenerate because several codons work together to provide the complete code for amino acids.
text: Many codons are degenerate or redundant, meaning that two or more codons may code for the same amino acid.
text: A codon is said to be four-fold degenerate if any nucleotide at its third position specifies the same amino acid; it is said to be two-fold degenerate if only two of four possible nucleotides at its third position specify the same amino acid.
text: Most amino acids are encoded by more than one codon (therefore, degenerate).
