How many nucleotides are needed to specify three acids?

Nine nucleotides are needed to specify three amino acids.


The number of nucleotides required to specify an amino acid is?

Three nucleotides are required for an amino acid. These nucleotides are an amine, carbolic acid, and a side chain specific to the amino acid.


How many nucleotides are needed to 'read' or place a single amino acid?

Three.


How manny codons are needed to specify three amino acids?

three. (= 9 nucleotides)


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.


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 do nucleotides translate into amino acids?

A codon of nucleotides codes for an amino acid. The combination of nucleotides in a codon determines the amino acid the codon makes.


The concept that a set of three nucleotides specifies a particular amino acid provides the basis for?

The genetic code


Does a codon consist of four nucleotides?

No, a codon is a triplet of mRNA bases that specifies a particular amino acid.


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.


How many nuclotides are needed to make 5329 amino acids?

Each amino acid has three nucleotides (or base codes). 5329 X 3 =15987
