What are 3 nucleotides called on DNA mrna and trna?

In DNA, three nucleotides are referred to as a "triplet." In mRNA, these triplets are called "codons," which specify amino acids during protein synthesis. In tRNA, the complementary three-nucleotide sequences to the codons are known as "anticodons," which help ensure the correct amino acids are incorporated into the growing polypeptide chain.


How many nucleotides are necessary to code for a polypeptide that is 200 amino acids long?

A minimum of 600 nucleotides is necessary to code for a polypeptide that is 200 amino acids long because each amino acid is coded for by a sequence of three nucleotides in mRNA. This is due to the genetic code being triplet, where every three nucleotides represent one amino acid.

nine. one amino acid is composed of three bases.


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
