Suppose evolution on Earth occurred in such a way that instead of $20$ amino acids,there were $96$ amino acids. If $DNA$ consisted of $12$ different types of bases and $DNA$ synthesis occurred in the same manner,what would be the minimum number of bases required for each $DNA$ codon?
- A$1$
- B$2$
- C$3$
