Amino acid that have more than one codon include leucine, serine, proline, tyrosine, glycine etc. While those that have only one codon include methionine and tryptophan

Tryptophan is encoded for only one codon (UGG); whereas Leucine is encoded by four codons (CUU, CUC, CUA, CUG).

A codon is a triplet of nucleotides in the messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule, which specifies a given amino acid during protein synthesis.

The genetic code is considered degenerated because different codons can encode for the same amino acid.

In conclusion, Tryptophan is encoded for one codon; whereas Leucine is encoded by four codons.
