Although, there are obviously going to be a lot of codons "left over". Most amino acids are coded for by more than a single unique triplet, and therefore the genetic code is said to be degenerate.

It occurs in three main stages: initiation, elongation, and termination. Ribosomes read the mRNA sequence in codons, which correspond to specific amino acids. tRNA molecules, carrying amino acids, bind to the ribosome at the anticodon region, facilitating the assembly of a polypeptide chain. Once a stop codon is reached, the newly formed protein is released. This process is crucial for cellular functions and organismal developement.

In turn, proteins account for more mass than any other component of living organisms (with the exception of water), and proteins perform a wide variety of the functions of a cell. The process of translation, or protein synthesis, involves decoding an mRNA message into a polypeptide product. Amino acids are covalently strung together in lengths ranging from approximately 50 amino acids to more than 1,000.
