How many codons would be needed if a bacterial protein contains 150 amino acids?

1. the start codon 2. 150 codons, 1 for each amino acid 3. the stop codon The total number of different codons is 64...if this question is asking about unique codons used the answer will depend on which amino acids are in the peptide.


How many protein-coding codons are there?

61 codons specify the amino acids used in proteins and 3 codons (stop codons) signal termination of growth of the polypeptide chain...so 64 total


How many codons are needed to code for a protein that has 50 amino acids?

150 bases are needed for 50 codons .


The termination codons that serve as stop signals for the protein synthesis is called?

The answer is "Non-sense" codons


How many codons would be needed to construct a protein that is composed of 45 amino acids?

Each aminoacid is codified by three codons, so by multiplying the 60 by 3, the answer is 180 codons (not counting the stop codon).


How many codons are present on the mRNA strand?

There are 6 codon here. Look at the letters and put them into threes. Those three are called codons. Each codes for one amino acid and all of these is a string of threes which will make a small protein.


What mRNA codons would cause synthesis of a protein to terminate?

UAG


Which type of RNA contains codons?

Messenger RNA (mRNA). Transfer RNA (tRNA) contains anti-codons.


What happens during protein synthesis?

DNA opens up at the section where the gene is located. 1/2 of the DNA is copied, this messenger RNA then moves out into the cytoplasm. A Ribosome attaches to the mRNA and reads sets of 3 bases called codons. Transfer RNA's with anti-codons that match the codons drip off the amino-acids they were carrying. The amino-acids combine to form a protein.


Which molecule contains protein building instructions?

DNA


What are the punctuation codons?

Punctuation codons are the three stop codons in the genetic code: UAA, UAG, and UGA. These codons signal the termination of translation during protein synthesis.


How does gene code for an antibody?

antibody is just a protein. Every gene codes a protein. So an antibody protein is coded by codons (triplets of nucleotides) in the gene.
