What would biochemists call the result of chaining many of the molecules together?
This is called polymerization. If the "molecules" being chained together are amino acids, then Des Dichado is correct, and it is a polypeptide. If the molecules are sugars (monosaccharides), then it is a carbohydrate. If the molecules are fatty acids, then it is a lipid.
What do you call a set three nitrogen bases?
your mother...nah its called a codon
How do mRNA and the tRNA read each other?
The ribosome takes in the mRNA and for each codon, it matches it up with an anti codon (a C for a G and etc.). Each anticodon has a corresponding amino acid which gets linked to the growing polypeptide chain.
Japan is made up of a long chain of islands What do geographers call such an island chain?
an archipelago
What is gene codon?
Codons are a series of three of the 4 nucelotides (bases) that call for the creation of one of 20 amino acids...or start or stop protein synthesis. Some amino acids have only one codon others have several. A C T G (U in RNA) ATC starts protein synthesis for example
What do you call a chain of 25 amino acids?
a chain of 25 amino acids can be called a peptide chain ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Two or united amino acids form a *dipeptide* Three a *tripeptide* Ten or more a *polypeptide* More than 50 *protine* Therefore a chain of 25 amino acids is a polypeptide :D
Decoding of an mRNA message into a polypeptide chain and protein is call?
It is called Translation. The mRNA gets decoded into a polypeptide chain.
Why do they call proteins polypeptides?
A 'peptide' is a chain of amino acids, and a protein is made from multiple chains, ergo 'polypeptide', 'poly-' meaning 'many'.
What do you call the covalent bond that hold amino acids together?
Polypeptide bonds

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 do geographers call such an an island chain?
Geographers call an island chain an Archipelago.
What is the number of codons that actually specify amino acids is?
61. there are 64 total codon arrangements. However three of those (UAA, UAG, UGA) are STOP codons and in turn do not call for the tRNA to bind a protein. Rather, these 3 codons call for termination of translation. The START condon in RNA is UAG, with calls for the amino acid (Met'). It is important to remember that even though there are 61 codons that call for amino acids, only 20 amino acids are available. This means that more than one codon can call for the same amino acid which brings about the REDUNDANT characteristic of codons. However they are NOT AMBIGUOUS, meaning that a codon cannot call for several different amino acids. Serveral codons can call for the same amino acid, but each codon can only call for ONE specific amino acid.
What should you do 1f you get lost?
call emergency, use sos fire signals or sos light signals
What is the name for a large polymer of nucleotides that provides the code for making proteins?
DNA.It is the sequence of bases along the DNA molecule that codes for the sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain. One or more polypeptide chains, when they have correctly coiled and folded, and, if necessary, assembled together, form the functional molecule that we call a protein.In some viruses the genetic information is stored in RNA, not DNA, so a more accurate answer would be a nucleic acid.
What do call the hand signals at the races?
Tic Tacs???
