Given a genetic code formed by 64 codons, we calculate the number of partitions of the set of encoding amino acid codons. When there are 0–3 stop codons, the results indicate that the most probable number of partitions is 19 and/or 20. Then, assuming that in the early evolution the genetic code could have had random variations, we suggest that the most probable number of partitions of the set of encoding amino acid codons determined the actual number 20 of standard amino acids.
