nine. one amino acid is composed of three bases.
acids have a base of 7
no acids are higher than seven and bases are lower than seven
If I remember correctly, bases have low pH and acids have high pH; therefore, a base would definitely be less than 7.
The pH scale goes as follows : |____________|___________| 0 ACIDIC 7 BASIC 14 Below 7 = Acid More than 7 = Base
There are "bases" on a field for the game of baseball, there are "bases" of the armed services (army, navy etc). Even lamps have "bases". Need more information to answer.
i think nine bases are needed for three amino acids because i think it takes three bases to make one amino acid
i think nine bases are needed for three amino acids because i think it takes three bases to make one amino acid
15 DNA bases
each codon have 3 nitrogenous bases . 3 nitrogenous bases = 1 amino acid or say 1 codon =1 amino acid ,so 2 codon = 2 amino acid
There are a total of three bases that make up a codon.
3 bases are needed to specify an mRNA codon.
In order to create two amino acids, you would need two codons, which is 6 bases (Adenine, Guanine, Thymine, or Cytosine) because a codon is a group of three bases.
To make 3 amino acids, you would need at least 9 bases. This is because each amino acid is encoded by a sequence of 3 bases called a codon. So, 3 amino acids would require 3 codons, which would be 9 bases in total.
The answer is nine because one codon has 3 letters.Improved AnswerThe above answer is completely incorrect. The question is how many codons are necessary to specify three amino acids, not bases (letters). As my original answer (which was removed by the previouis contributor) pointed out, each amino acid requires one codon to specify it, so the basic answer is, three codons are necessary to specify any three amino acids. However, if the questioner had in mind how many codons are necessary to specify a polypeptide consisting of three amino acids, the answer is five, because, in addition to the three codons necessary for the amino acids, a start codon of AUG (on the mRNA transcript), and one stop codon (UAG, UGA,or UAA on the mRNA transcipt) are also needed. So, in this sense, five codons are needed to specify a polypeptide of 3 amino acids.Improved Answer: The answer is 9. ^ fail XD
