Answer #1

The number of unique protein sequence is calculated by following formula. As we know that there are three bases in a codon which codes for single amino acid.

Now the the codons are differ in the bases at their position.

The probability of on base is 1/4.

Since there are six base pairs. It means the unique protein sequence are (1/4)^6= 4096 unique sequence.
