3 base pairs (3 letters) code for 1 aminoacid and this 3 base pair sequence is called a codon.
8 (24/3) since 3 codons code for one amino acid.
3, a three-nucleotide codon in a nucleic acid sequence specifies a single amino acid.The code defines how sequences of three nucleotides, called codons, specify which amino acid will be added next during protein synthesis
i think nine bases are needed for three amino acids because i think it takes three bases to make one amino acid
A codon, or a 3-base code is required to code for one amino acid.
there are 64 codon for diffrent amino acids in human being and three amino acid codon for a specific amino acid eg AUG stand for methionin amino acids ADENINE URACIL GUANIN
3 nucleotides code for 1 amino acid

There are 3 nitrogen bases equalling one amino acid and they are called codons. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein and in turn protein in science is one of the building blocks of life. The protein molecule has the chromosome strands. On each strand of the chromosome there are shapes in groups of 3 which is the RNA or the Ribonucleic Acid. Where the chromosomes are located, the strands have messengers that travel outside to the ribosomes to be decoded or decyphered. Once the RNA has been decoded by the ribosomes the amino acid is formed. The chronological order of the amino acid being decyphered determines the type of protein. Protein is essential for human growth as it helps with the repair of our muscles amoungst many of it's uses.
One codon specifies a specific amino acid. However, more than one codon can code for the same amino acid. For example, the codon GUU codes for the specific amino acid valine; and the codons GUC, GUA, and GUG also code for valine.
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?
3 base pairs (3 letters) code for 1 aminoacid and this 3 base pair sequence is called a codon.
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.
