Each amino acid is formed from three base pairs - if you remember, there are four bases in the DNA acid sequence: A, C, T and G. Therefore there is a maximum number of 64 different combinations of the amino acids together (43= 64). Therefore, for a protein with 100 amino acids, 100 DNA code triplets will be required :)

A linear stretch of DNA that specifies the sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide is called a gene. The primary function of DNA ligase is to seal new short stretches of nucleotides into one continuous strand.
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.
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.
A gene is the basic physical unit of heredity; a linear sequence of nucleotides along a segment of DNA that provides the coded instructions for synthesis of RNA, which, when translated into protein, leads to the expression of hereditary character.
The linear sequence of codons on mRNA determines the linear sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide.

The amino acid sequence of a polypeptide is determined by the sequence of its parent DNA. RNA is transcribed directly from DNA.
Gene stores information as a sequence of nucleotides, which codes for the sequence of amino acids that determine the formation of a specific polypeptide or protein.

sequence of nucleotides in the DNA
Genes are segments of DNA. DNA is made up of polymer of nucleotides joined together. When there is an alteration in the sequence of nucleotides, gene mutation occurs.
A cluster of three nucleotides is called a 'codon' - However, the term is only really used to refer to refer to a 3 nucleotide sequence on an mRNA molecule. Codons provide a means by which charged tRNA molecules can specifically add amino acids to a growing polypeptide chain. tRNA molecules have the complementary 3 nucleotide sequence (anticodon) that allow the specific recognition.
