Abstract
The genetic codes have degeneracy; that is, most amino acids (18 out of 20 in the universal genetic code) are encoded by more than one codon. Codons encoding the same amino acid are called synonymous codons. Both in prokaryotic and eukaryotic genes, the synonymous codons are not used with equal frequencies.
