Amino acids could be accommodated by this genetic code

Reference no: EM13527879

An extraterrestrial life form is discovered. It has a genetic code much like that of organisms on Earth except that there are 6 different DNA bases instead of 4 and the base sequences are translated as doublets instead of triplets. How many different amino acids could be accommodated by this genetic code?
