A researcher is trying to decipher how mRNA codons contain information about proteins. He first constructs a sequence of all cytosine nucleotides and sees that a string of prolines is synthesized. He knows from previous research that information is encoded in groups of 3 so generates the following sequences: ACCACCACC, CACCACCAC, and CCACCACCA. Surprisingly, he sees that new amino acids are produced with the first two sequences but that the third sequence is still a string of prolines. Which of the following biochemical principles explains why this phenomenon was observed?
