What is the maximum length of a polypeptide encoded by an mRNA that is 45 nucleotides long?
15
Name the polymer of carbohydrates proteins lipids and nucleic acid?
Carbohydrates: starch Lipids: Glycerol Proteins: polypeptides nucleic acid: nucleotides
How many amino acids would be in a molecule containing 15000 nucleotides?
One amino acid is encoded by 3 nucleotides. That means 150 amino acids are encoded by 150*3=450 nucleotides. But there are also Start and Stop condons, which are also encoded by 3 nucleotides each. Therefore, I guess, the theoretical minimum is 450 nucleotides and the full (maximum) should be 450+ 3+ 3= 456 nucleotides.
What are four important biological polymers and the monomers that compose them?
Polymer:Monomer DNA: nucleotides Starch: Glucose Cellulose: Glucose PolyPeptide: 2 or more amino acids
How many DNA nucleotides make up a gene with a protein with 150 amino acids?
450
What polypeptide would you expect from a poly-G mRNA that is 30 nucleotides long?
a polypeptide of 10 glycine's
What is the maximum length of a polypeptide encoded by an mRNA that is 45 nucleotides long?
15
What are three nucleotides that specify a single amino acid to be added to a polypeptide?
CONDON
Nucleotides are responsible for directing the addition of a particular amino acid to a polypeptide?
Essentially, yes. mRNA, which is made from nucleotides, have specific codons attached to them which codes for specific types of amino acids, which sort of guides the addition of amino acids to the polypeptide chain.
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?
12 Because 1 nucleotide=1 Amino Acid.
Made up of three adjacent nucleotides and is responsible for directing the addition of a particular amino acid to a polypeptide?
tRNA (transfer RNA)
What do 3 nucleotides represent?
Three nucleotide represent a codon, which, when translated from mRNA to tRNA, codes for a particular amino acid in a polypeptide chain.
Name the polymer of carbohydrates proteins lipids and nucleic acid?
Carbohydrates: starch Lipids: Glycerol Proteins: polypeptides nucleic acid: nucleotides
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.
How many amino acids would be in a molecule containing 15000 nucleotides?
One amino acid is encoded by 3 nucleotides. That means 150 amino acids are encoded by 150*3=450 nucleotides. But there are also Start and Stop condons, which are also encoded by 3 nucleotides each. Therefore, I guess, the theoretical minimum is 450 nucleotides and the full (maximum) should be 450+ 3+ 3= 456 nucleotides.
The order of the amino acids in a polypeptide chain are determind by the order of nucleotides in the what?
The order of amino acids in a polypeptide chain (protein) is determined by the order of nucleotide triplets in the messenger RNA, or mRNA, chain that was transcribed from the DNA inside the nucleus for that specific protein.
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.
