Three nucleotides are required for an amino acid. These nucleotides are an amine, carbolic acid, and a side chain specific to the amino acid.
To calculate the number of nucleotides required to code for a specific polypeptide, you need to know the number of amino acids in the polypeptide. Since each amino acid is coded by a codon made up of three nucleotides, you would need 3 times the number of amino acids to determine the total number of nucleotides required. For a 150 amino acid polypeptide, the number of nucleotides would be 150 (amino acids) * 3 (nucleotides per amino acid) = 450 nucleotides.
Three.
A minimum of 600 nucleotides is necessary to code for a polypeptide that is 200 amino acids long because each amino acid is coded for by a sequence of three nucleotides in mRNA. This is due to the genetic code being triplet, where every three nucleotides represent one amino acid.
Three nucleotides are required to code for one amino acid.
A codon, or a 3-base code is required to code for one amino acid.
The number of nucleotides in an mRNA is directly related to the number of amino acids in the resulting protein. Since each amino acid is coded for by a sequence of 3 nucleotides (codon), the number of amino acids is determined by dividing the total number of nucleotides (336) by 3. Therefore, a mRNA of 336 nucleotides will translate to a protein with 112 amino acids.
Each amino acid has three nucleotides (or base codes). 5329 X 3 =15987
The term for a sequence of three nucleotides that code for an amino acid in DNA is called a codon.
There is none. DNA is a nucleic acid composed of nucleotides. There are no amino acids in DNA.
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.
To determine the number of amino acids that can be translated from 6000 nucleotides, we first need to consider that each amino acid is encoded by a codon, which consists of three nucleotides. Therefore, 6000 nucleotides can yield 6000 / 3 = 2000 codons. This means that 2000 amino acids can be produced from the transcription of 6000 nucleotides.
