Genetic code comes on long strands. The indvidual bases are grouped into threes in the stand. The groups of three code for either an amino acid or a to start or stop making a polypeptide.
Chains of these groups of three code for the polypeptides, proteins and enzymes that our bodies depend on.
There are lots more possible combinations of the four base pairs than there are amino acids so the same amino acid can be coded for in several different ways.
