How many nucleotides code for a protein containing 1200 amino acids?

It takes three amino acids to form a codon that codes for one amino acid. Therefore it would take 1,000 codons of three amino acids each. This is very simplified as this sequence would contain start and stop codons. I'm not sure if you should count the introns and exons.

The sequence of nucleotides in DNA specifies the sequence of what in a protein?
Amino Acids
Arrangement of nucleotides that determines the sequence of amino acids that will make up the protein?
DNA Sequence
How many DNA nucleotides make up a gene with a protein with 150 amino acids?
450
Does a nucleotide use a protein?
No nucleotides are not proteins. Nucleotides are composed of nucleosides that are linked to phosphate groups and are the subunits of DNA and RNA.
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.

Amino Acids
How many nucleotides are involved in synthesis of a protein that contains 1013 amino acids?
When we exclude the start and termination codon sequences, this leaves 1013 amino acids multiplied by 3 nucleotides per amino acid = 3039 nucleotides, or 1013 codons.
Nucleotides are to nucleic acids as amino acids are to?
An amino acid is the monomer used to create proteins. Nucleotides are the basic unit used to make nucleic acids (such as DNA). Therefore an amino acid is to a protein as a nucleotide is to a nucleic acid.
What is the number of nucleotides found in a protein?
None! The reason is: there are no nucleotides in proteins. Nucleotides are the monomers (building blocks) of nucleic acids. The monomers of proteins are amino acids. The relationship between nucleotides and amino acids is the genetic code. In brief, the genetic code works like this: within a region of DNA that codes for a polypeptide chain (from which a protein will be made) a group of three adjacent nucleotides code for one amino acid.
What arrangement of nucleotides that derermines the sequence of amino acids that will make up the protein?
Polypetide
Is DNA an amino acid that encodes protein sequences?
No, DNA is not an amino acid. DNA is a nucleic acid composed of two chains of nucleotides. The sequence of nucleotides encodes for amino acids (almost every triplet of nucleotides encodes for some amino acid). The amino acids in turn build proteins. Please see the related link for more information.

What determines the amino acid sequence in a protein?
The sequence of amino acids in a protein is determined by the sequence of nucleotides in the mRNA, and this is determined by the sequence of nucleotide bases in the DNA.
Does a nucleotide use a protein?
No nucleotides are not proteins. Nucleotides are composed of nucleosides that are linked to phosphate groups and are the subunits of DNA and RNA.
Molecules of DNA are composed of a long chain are called?
A DNA molecule is composed of long chains of DNA nucleotides.
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.
