Explain why the genetic code is degenerate The genetic code is said to be "degenerate" because: different organisms use different codons to encode the same amino acid. Osome codons specify more than one amino acid. both template and coding strands code for the same molecule there are more amino acids than codons. there are more codons than amino acids.
