How many codons would be needed if a bacterial protein contains 150 amino acids?

1. the start codon 2. 150 codons, 1 for each amino acid 3. the stop codon The total number of different codons is 64...if this question is asking about unique codons used the answer will depend on which amino acids are in the peptide.


How many possible codons are there?

The answer to this question is 64 CODONS. Codons are the "words" consisting of the "letter" bases, which are a, u, g, and c. EXAMPLE: AUG (Methionine) and CAG (Glutamine) AUG and CAG are just two of the 64 possible codons.
