There are 3 base pairs in an amino acid. Base pairs are the basic building block of DNA. A gene is a part of DNA that is transcribed by RNA polymerase. The resulting mRNA molecule is then translated into a peptide/enzyme, which consists of multiple amino acid (from a few, say 10, up to more than 100000). Each amino acid is coded for by a set of three consecutive bases, called a triplet. Since there are 4 types of bases (A, T/U, G &C) there are 4^3=64 possible triplets. each of these code for one of 20 aminoacids or a stop signal (some triplets code for the same thing).

How many base amino acids are there?
There are 64 codons (3-base code) that represent 20 amino acids and 3 stop signals. Click on the related link to see a table of DNA codons and the amino acids for which they code.
How many different amino acids are in glucose?
There are not any amino acids in glucoe because glucose is not a protein.
How many total amino acids are needed by a human?
There are twenty amino acids used by humans of which eight are essential amino acids the body can not synthesize and must ingest in food. Alanine is an example of an essential amino acid.
Is amino acids soluble in water?
Some amino acids are very soluble in water, but many are not.
How many amino acids exist?
20
How many amino acids are there if you have 1500 base pairs?
There are three base pairs in each amino acid. If you have 1500 base pairs you would have 500 amino acids.
How many bases would DNA molecule have to molecule to code an enzymes of 150 amino acids?
To code for a protein of 150 amino acids, the DNA molecule would need approximately 450 base pairs. This is because each amino acid is encoded by a sequence of three nucleotides called a codon. So, 150 amino acids would require 150 codons, which translates to 450 base pairs.
If each triplet of nitrogenous bases three bases on DNA codes for a specific amino acid how many amino acids will your original DNA model code for?
There are 64 different triplet combinations of base pairs, which code for 22 different amino acids.
How many amino can a sequence of 24 DNA base code for?
20 Amino Acids
How many base amino acids are there?

How many amino acids are affected by a deletion of one nitrogen base?
It depends on how many amino acids are left to be generated before the stop sequence.
Why is the order of the base pairs along a gene important?
The base pairs are ordered such that they spell out the order in which amino acids will be placed to build a protein. When they are in the wrong order, either the wrong amino acid is made, or sometime it will create a shortened protein which may or may not perform its intended function.
How many DNA letters code for one amino acids What is this sequence of letters called?
3 base pairs (3 letters) code for 1 aminoacid and this 3 base pair sequence is called a codon.
How many acids are their?
amino acids?? 20 amino acids
How many amino acids can sequence of 24 DNA base code for?
20
How many of the 29 amino acids can the body produce?
Their are 20 base amino acids. The body can produce 12 of them- the other 8 need to be obtained from food.
Excluding the stop sequence how many nucleotides are necessary to code for a polypeptide that is 100 amino acids long?
Each amino acid is formed from three base pairs - if you remember, there are four bases in the DNA acid sequence: A, C, T and G. Therefore there is a maximum number of 64 different combinations of the amino acids together (43= 64). Therefore, for a protein with 100 amino acids, 100 DNA code triplets will be required :)
