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.
The sequences of amino acids that make up a protein molecule are specified by?
codons
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 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).
What meaning do the first and last codons have for protein synthesis?
Codons are used for making amino acids. Some codons will tell the ribosomes to start tell the tRNA to make the amino acids or to stop making amino acids. I like to think of the start/initiator/promoter codon(AUG) as a capital letter in a sentence and the stop/terminator codons(UAA, UAG, and UGA) as periods in a sentence.

How many codons are needed too specify three amino acids?
3
How manny codons are needed to specify three amino acids?
three. (= 9 nucleotides)
A codon is a triplet base sequence?
mRNA

What 3 codons do not carry amino acids?
There are three codons that do not code for any amino acids: the stop codons. These are TAG, TAA, and TGA (in DNA, not RNA).
What substance are needed to make protein?
Amino acids
What does the ribosome serve?
it serve as a machine to synthesize the protein by collection of amino acids from tRNA by the help of the codons in mRNA.
How are codons like word in an instruction manual?
They tell cells the specific sequence of amino acids for making a protein.
