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 codons are needed to code for a protein that has 50 amino acids?
150 bases are needed for 50 codons .
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.
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).
Why is it important that a signal to stop translation be part of protein synthesis?
They signal to stop protein synthesis and release the amino acid chain. Stop codons are important because they signal the end of synthesis. Sometimes, mRNA is longer than what is needed for the amino acids so without stop codons, synthesis would continue until the end of the strand of RNA, leaving you with an incorrect amino acid chain.
The nucleus store the DNA needed to synthesize which molecule in the cytoplasm?
DNA is store in nucleus to synthesize protein in cytoplasm through translation. DNA encode the information in form of triplet codons to synthesize proteins.

What molecule contains all of the codons needed to produce a particular polypeptide?
A single mRNA molecule has 3 codons i.e. 1 amino acid. The question is flawed and does not make sense!

How does meat help a human?
Meat such as ham contains protein which is needed by the body.
How does DNA make protein?
DNA basically contains the information needed to create protein. Each protein is encoded by a gene, which carries specific physical characteristics for each person.
Which component of a neuron contains organelles and produces the protein and energy needed to carry out its functions?
cell body

How many codons are needed too specify three amino acids?
3
What role do stop codons play in protein synthesis?
Anticodon of the DNA is needed to make RNA that has the code that the codon has. Since DNA is a double helix, then one of the strains has the codon and the other is anticodon.
How manny codons are needed to specify three amino acids?
three. (= 9 nucleotides)
