Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that there are 64 possible codons in the genetic code?

Yes. Multiple genetics textbooks and reference works state that the genetic code has 64 possible codons, of which 61 encode amino acids and three are stop codons.
