How many bases are required to be in a codon to specify twenty different amino acids?

There are a total of three bases that make up a codon.


How many bases are needed to make 3 amino acids?

One codon is 3 bases long - this codes for one amino acid. Therefore you would need 9 bases (3 codons) to make 3 amino acids.


How many codons are needed to specify 2 amino acids?

each codon have 3 nitrogenous bases . 3 nitrogenous bases = 1 amino acid or say 1 codon =1 amino acid ,so 2 codon = 2 amino acid

150 bases are needed for 50 codons .


How many codons are neede to specify two amino acids?

In order to create two amino acids, you would need two codons, which is 6 bases (Adenine, Guanine, Thymine, or Cytosine) because a codon is a group of three bases.


How many codons are needed to specify three amino acids 6 or 9?

The answer is nine because one codon has 3 letters.Improved AnswerThe above answer is completely incorrect. The question is how many codons are necessary to specify three amino acids, not bases (letters). As my original answer (which was removed by the previouis contributor) pointed out, each amino acid requires one codon to specify it, so the basic answer is, three codons are necessary to specify any three amino acids. However, if the questioner had in mind how many codons are necessary to specify a polypeptide consisting of three amino acids, the answer is five, because, in addition to the three codons necessary for the amino acids, a start codon of AUG (on the mRNA transcript), and one stop codon (UAG, UGA,or UAA on the mRNA transcipt) are also needed. So, in this sense, five codons are needed to specify a polypeptide of 3 amino acids.Improved Answer: The answer is 9. ^ fail XD
