    The genetic code is based upon reading 3 bases at a time

    there are 4 nucleotides bases in DNA and 20 amino acids.

    In order to incorporate all the amino acids we consider 3 bases in genetic code

    4 x 4 x 4 = 64

    if we would take 2 bases -

    4x4 = 16 that would leave out 4 amino acids without a code.
