The DNA strand is split into threes called amino acids. The DNA strand is agg-gat-tac-agg so four amino acids.

How many amino acids does the strand of dna gccttatgc have?

That strand should have 3 amino acids, because one amino acid is composed of three nucleotide bases.


A protein contains 131 amino acids How many bases will there be on the mRNA strand corresponding to these amino acids and how do you know?

There would be 393 bases on the mRNA strand corresponding to 131 amino acids, as each amino acid is coded for by a sequence of three bases (1 codon). By multiplying the number of amino acids by 3, you can determine the total number of bases required to encode the protein sequence on mRNA.

If an mRNA is made up of 60 bases how many codons does it contain and how many amino acid does it code for?

A codon is exactly three bases long, so an mRNA strand with 60 bases would contain 20 codons. The first codon will encode for methionine (this is called the "start" codon) and the last codon will be a "stop" codon, which does not encode for an amino acid. Thus, an mRNA strand of 60 bases will code for 19 amino acids. Keep in mind, it is possible for a stop codon to be anywhere on the mRNA strand, and when a stop codon reaches the ribosome, translation must stop. For example, if an mRNA strand contained 30 codons, and the 15th were a stop codon, the mRNA would only code for 14 amino acids and then be done. The other 15 codons would go untranslated.


How many acids are their?

How many codons specify the twenty types of amino acids?

There are 61 codons that specify the twenty types of amino acids, since multiple codons can code for the same amino acid due to the redundancy of the genetic code.
