Suppose some codons mapped to different amino acids? What would be the effect on your translation of coded messages? What would be the effect on the production of proteins?

If some codons were mapped to different amino acids, the translation of coded messages would not be accurate. The protein that would be formed during protein synthesis would not have the same composition and nucleic acids since the codons don't have a single amino acid assigned to each of them.
