How many amino acids would be in a molecule containing 15000 nucleotides?

One amino acid is encoded by 3 nucleotides. That means 150 amino acids are encoded by 150*3=450 nucleotides. But there are also Start and Stop condons, which are also encoded by 3 nucleotides each.
Therefore, I guess, the theoretical minimum is 450 nucleotides
and the full (maximum) should be 450+ 3+ 3= 456 nucleotides.

Are nucleic acids and nucleotides the same thing?
No, nucleotides are the monomers that make up Nucleic Acids.
Which nucleotides build proteins?
No, nucleotides ar e the building blocks for nucleic acids such as DNA or RNA. The building blocks for proteins are amino acids.
Which bio-molecule doesn't have oxygen in their structure?
Lipids, carbohydrates, amino acids/proteins, and nucleotides/DNA all have oxygen atoms in their structures.
A nucleic acids is a?
Nucleic acids are polymers of nucleotides.
How Both Nucleic Acids aNd Proteins And Polymers?
A polymer is a large molecule made up of repeated subunits called monomers. Nucleic acids are polymers that are made up of monomers called nucleotides. Protein is a polymer made of monomers called amino acids.
In what form did DNA exist before the evolution of cellular organisms?
amino acids formed from chemicals. DNA is a molecule, and it is a molecule containing other smaller molecules. DNA ->Nucleotides -> Amino Acids -> Chemicals.
Molecules of DNA are composed of a long chain are called?
A DNA molecule is composed of long chains of DNA nucleotides.
What molecule is made up of subunit called nucleotides?
nucleic acids
What is the type of organic molecule including DNA and RNA?
Nucleic acids, and Nucleotides.
What has molecule?
The type of molecule that has codons are nucleic acids. A codon refers to a sequence of three nucleotides that form a unit of genetic code in a DNA or RNA molecule.
What type of molecule is made by nucleotides?
Nucleic acid
How are acids formed?
They are contained of nucleotides. Nucleotides are made up of 3 compnents covalently bonded together. A Nitrogen-containing base a 5 carbob sugar (ribose/deoxyribose) and a phosphate group
