How many amino acids are there if you have 1500 base pairs?
There are three base pairs in each amino acid. If you have 1500 base pairs you would have 500 amino acids.
How many bases are needed to specify 3 amino acids?
nine. one amino acid is composed of three bases.
WHich of these is the smallest.?
Dipeptide,amino acid,polypeptide,protein Amino Acid is the answer
Are proteins polymers 20 different nucleotides?
No, proteins are polymers of amino acids. DNA and RNA are polymers of nucleotides.
Molecules of DNA are composed of a long chain are called?
A DNA molecule is composed of long chains of DNA nucleotides.
How do nucleotides translate into amino acids?
A codon of nucleotides codes for an amino acid. The combination of nucleotides in a codon determines the amino acid the codon makes.
What does a group of three nucleotides code for?
DNA nucleotides 'code' for RNA copies of the DNA strand, but the true 'coding' of nucleotides happen in the ribosome where amino acids are matched to the RNA nucleotides. Nucleotides in DNA are only are present to store genetic data. When a particular gene needs to be used or a protein needs to be made, a RNA copy of the DNA will be made, using the slightly different RNA nucleotides (adenine, uracil, cytosine and guanine). This copy then leaves the nucleus and travels to the ribosome, where the RNA nucleotides are used to assemble amino acids into proteins. Each amino acid matches up to a three-nucleotide sequence.
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.
What are the sub-units or monomers for nucleic acids?
Amino acids
How many nucleotides are needed to specify three acids?
Nine nucleotides are needed to specify three amino acids.
How many nucleotides are necessary to code for a polypeptide that is 200 amino acids long?
In the genetic code, a sequence of three nucleotides forms a codon, which codes for one amino acid. So for each amino acid, there are three nucleotides. Therefore, 600 nucleotides are needed to make 200 amino acids.
Is proteins composed of nucleotides?
No, they are composed of Amino acids.
Amino acids are the building block for what?
nucleotides
Are nucleotides are polymers made of amino acids?
True
How do nucleotides in the RNA molecule code for various amino acids How many nucleotides code for one amino acid?
Each nucleotide is made up of an organic base, a pentose sugar and a phosphate. Nucleotides can be arranged in various different orders and that order dictates which amino acid it codes for, three amino acids code for one nucleotide. Is this enough detail?
