Detailed explanation-1: -The genetic code is said to be redundant in that the same amino acid residue can be encoded by multiple, so-called synonymous, codons. If all properties of synonymous codons were entirely equivalent, one would expect that they would be equally distributed along protein coding sequences.

Detailed explanation-2: -In the genetic code, or the mapping of RNA codons to protein amino acids, each amino acid is encoded by multiple different codons. In this way, the genetic code is redundant, as each amino acid is encoded more than once. However, the genetic code is not ambiguous, as each codon specifies exactly one amino acid.

Detailed explanation-3: -The genetic code consists of the sequence of bases in DNA or RNA. Groups of three bases form codons, and each codon stands for one amino acid (or start or stop). The codons are read in sequence following the start codon until a stop codon is reached. The genetic code is universal, unambiguous, and redundant.
