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.
How many nucleotides are in a codon?
A three-nucleotide sequence makes up a codon.
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.
What are 3 parts to a nucleotides?
base, phosphate and sugar
An okazaki fragment has which of the following arrangements?
5' DNA to 3' Bipin
What is the base sequence for the mRNA start codon?
3 nucleotides.
Which of the following removes the RNA nucleotides from the primer and adds equivalent DNA nucleotides to the 3' end of Okazaki fragments?
DNA Polymerase I
How many amino acids would be strung together from a sequence of 15 bases?

Monomers that make up nucleic acids are known as?
nucleotides are the monomers DNA has nitrogenous bases adenine(A), thymine(T), cytosine(C), and guanine(G) RNA has nitrogenous bases A, G, and C but instead of T has uracil(U)
What is a subunit of a nucleic acid?
The subunit of a nucleic acid are nucleotides.
What end of a growing strand are DNA nucleotides added to?
5' end (nucleotides are added from 3' toward 5')
To create amino acids the genetic code requires nucleotides?
3
