A protein contains 131 amino acids How many bases will there be on the mRNA strand corresponding to these amino acids and how do you know?

131*3=393 bases might be there on mRNA strand 3 codons of mRNA strand deduce an aminoacid of a protein, so here, mRNA strand bases are being asked.

How many amino acids make up protein?
Because amino acids can be arranged in many different combinations, it's possible for your body to make thousands of different kinds of protein from just the same 20 amino acids.The simplest protein of life, Rybonuclease, contains 124 amino acids. The "average" protein, though, contains several thousand amino acids, but those several thousand are only comprised of about about 20 different kinds of amino acids.
How many amino acids are there that make up proteins?
The number of amino acids/protein differ largely and is characteristic for each protein separately. A protein is composed of amino acids, and the function of the protein depends of the type and order of the amino acids.

How does mRNA get the code for gene from DNA?
mRNA is basically instructions for the creation of a protein. (the m stands for messenger) proteins are made in the ribosomes and they are made from 'amino acids' and basically these mRNA's tell the amino acids how to align to make a specific protein.
What is the general function of DNA?
The key to understanding the function of DNA molecule is layered on the pattern of bases along one strand, of the two, that is formed, that is being transcribed into RNA and therefore being translated into a protein. The "readable" strand contains the information (understood as the pattern of base sequences) needed to build a whole protein or group of proteins. So, the recipe for each protein is encoded in a sequence of bases. An analogy is the way letters form written words; but protein is more like a long sentence than a single word, since it may be formed from hundreds of building blocks, called amino acids. The gene is a coded recipe for building a protein. One strand of DNA (called the "sense" strand) contains the recipe for the protein.
If the fourth base adenine in the original DNA strand had been Thymine what would happen to the protein molecule?
the amino acids in that group would be different
Which strand of DNA contains codes for the amino acids that make up a protein?
the sense strand
Which strand of DNA contains codes for amino acids to make up a protein?
The best strand
What strand of DNA contains codes for the amino acids that make up a protein?
Either strand of DNA codes for protein synthesis.
What is a macromolecule that contains carbon and hydrogen and oxygen and nitrogen which is used by the body for growth and repair?
nucleic acids !
Which level of protein structure consist of a simple strand of amino acids?
Primary structure.
How do you make a protein from DNA?
mRNA transcribes a strand of DNA and carries the genetic code to a ribosome, where the mRNA code is translated by tRNA into a strand of amino acids, making a protein.
What does a complete protein possess?
A complete protein contains four elements. These are oxygen, hydrogen, carbon and nitrogen.These are combined into amino acids. A complete protein contains all the amino acids.
What is a protein that contains all of the amino acids?
phosphate
What in baked beans contains amino acids?
Protein .
What do wee call a protein that contains all the essential amino acids?
complete protein
How does protein synthesis create a protein?
A protein is created through translation of the mRNA strand. A ribosome will attach to the mRNA strand and recruit tRNA units that hold specific amino acids. Each tRNA anticodon matches with a correlating mRNA codon. The amino acids are then linked into a polypeptide chain. This polypeptide chain will fold and twist to create a specific protein.
How many amino acids make up a protein?
There are nine essential amino acids. A protein is considered to be complete if it contains all nine of these amino acids.
