How many bases are needed to specify an mRNA codon?
3 bases are needed to specify an mRNA codon.
How many nucleotides are needed to specify three acids?
Nine nucleotides are needed to specify three amino acids.
How many nucleotides are in a codon?
A three-nucleotide sequence makes up a codon.
How many nucleotide bases does it take to specify one amino acid?
i think nine bases are needed for three amino acids because i think it takes three bases to make one amino acid
How many codons are needed to specify 2 amino acids?
each codon have 3 nitrogenous bases . 3 nitrogenous bases = 1 amino acid or say 1 codon =1 amino acid ,so 2 codon = 2 amino acid
How many nucleotides a genetic codon carries?
Three nucleotides makes up each codon. The codons consist of combination of 4 differing nucleotides A,G,T, and C.
How many codons are there in an mRNA with 75 nucleotides?
Every codon is three nucleotide pairs, so you would have 25 codons.
A polypeptide found in the cytoplasm of a cell contains 12 amino acids How many nucleotides would be required in the mRNA for this polypeptide to be translated?
Since each amino acid is coded for by a specific triplet of nucleotides (codon), and there is a start codon and a stop codon, we need 15 nucleotides in the mRNA (3 nucleotides for each amino acid + 3 for start codon + 3 for stop codon).
How many tRNA nucleotides form an anitcodon that will attach to the mRNA codon?
The codon and the anticodon interact with each other via hydrogen bonding, hence both the codon and anticodon are made up of the same number of nucleotides, which is three.
How many amino acids does each condon code for?
No they are not. For a codon, there are 4^3 = 64 codon combinations, but only 20 [common] amino acids. The 4 represents the 4 nitrogenous bases, and the ^3 represents the arrangement into a codon (3 bp). An example of an amino acid that is specified by more than one amino acid is Alanine, which is specified by any of the following combinations: GUU, GUC, GUA, GUG. Because most amino acids have more than one codon, the genetic code is called "degenerate".
How many codons are needed to specify three amino acids 6 or 9?
The answer is nine because one codon has 3 letters.Improved AnswerThe above answer is completely incorrect. The question is how many codons are necessary to specify three amino acids, not bases (letters). As my original answer (which was removed by the previouis contributor) pointed out, each amino acid requires one codon to specify it, so the basic answer is, three codons are necessary to specify any three amino acids. However, if the questioner had in mind how many codons are necessary to specify a polypeptide consisting of three amino acids, the answer is five, because, in addition to the three codons necessary for the amino acids, a start codon of AUG (on the mRNA transcript), and one stop codon (UAG, UGA,or UAA on the mRNA transcipt) are also needed. So, in this sense, five codons are needed to specify a polypeptide of 3 amino acids.Improved Answer: The answer is 9. ^ fail XD
If a DNA sequence consists of 12 nucleotides how many mRNA codons will there be?
A DNA sequence consisting of 12 nucleotides will produce 4 mRNA codons. This is because each codon is made up of 3 nucleotides, so you can divide the total number of nucleotides (12) by the number of nucleotides per codon (3), resulting in 12 ÷ 3 = 4 codons.
