What is the linear chain of amino acids in a protein?
The monomers in a polypeptide are the amino acids. The sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide (or protein) is called the primary structure. It is the primary structure of proteins which is coded for by the DNA in the genes: the sequence of bases in the DNA is a code for the sequence of amino acids in a protein (or polypeptide).

If the sequence of bases in mRNA is UUU UUA AUU GUC CCA the sequence of amino acids in the polypeptide will be?
phenylalanine, leucine, isoleucine, valine, proline.
What is the primary structure of DNA?
The sequence of nitrogenous bases forms the primary structure of the molecule, analagous to the sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide.
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
Amino acid as acids and bases?
Amino acids are organic molecules which proteins are build from. There are twenty. However there is two amino acids which are acidic: Aspartic acid and glutamic acid.
A chain of amino acids forms what?
A chain of amino acids form a polypeptide chain. Once the polypeptide chain goes under a seris of folds, due to side chain reactions it becomes a functional protien.

The order of nitrogenous bases in DNA determines the order of what in organism?
The order of the Amino Acids in the protein chain.
If the sequence of bases in mRNA is UUU UUA AUU GUC CCA the sequence of amino acids in the polypeptide will be?
phenylalanine, leucine, isoleucine, valine, proline.
What is the primary structure of DNA?
The sequence of nitrogenous bases forms the primary structure of the molecule, analagous to the sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide.
How many amino acids can a sequence of 24 DNA bases bases code for?
20
How many amino acids will be in the polypeptide that is formed when uacguacguucaacu is translated?
Five. Each codon consists of a sequence of three nitrogen bases, and each codon codes for a specific amino acid, or a start or stop command.
How many bases needed to specify three amino acids?
i think nine bases are needed for three amino acids because i think it takes three bases to make one amino acid
How many amino acids would be in a protein that is coded by a DNA strand ninety-nine nucleotides long?
If all the nucleotides are protein coding with no control sequences, then 33. Each amino acid is coded for by 3 nucleotide bases. 99 divided by 3 = 33.
How many codons are incolved ina polypeoptide that has 5 amino acids?
Simple answer FIVE. Each codon is made up of links. There are three links to the codon. Each codon codes for a single amino acid. A polypeptide is a string of amino acids. The term is usually used for smaller polypeptide chains. Larger chains are usually referred to as proteins although not all proteins are simply polypeptides. Heomoglobin, for example, contains a heme group.
What do three bases form?
amino acids
Why must bases be grouped in triplents in order to represent amino acids?
Because to make up a codon you need to have amino acids which consist of three bases.
