How many amino acids does a codon contain?
A codon contains three amino acids. Each codon in mRNA corresponds to a specific amino acid in a protein sequence.
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 nucleotides are necessary to code for a polypeptide that is 200 amino acids long?
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.
How many codons are in 150 amino acids?
There are 150 codons required to code for 150 amino acids in a protein. Each amino acid is coded for by a specific sequence of three nucleotides (a codon) in the mRNA molecule during protein synthesis.
What determines how many amino acids is in a polypeptide?
When a gene is transcribed there is a sequence of RNA bases that was copied from the DNA sequence. The RNA sequence can be exactly the same as the DNA or can be modified more in higher organisms by removing the introns if any. Three RNA bases is a codon. Each codon signifies an amino acid. There is an initiation codon and a terminal codon. So the amino acid sequence is determined by the sequence (multiple of 3 RNA bases) of codons between the initiation codon and termination codon.
How many amino acids does a codon contain?
A codon contains three amino acids. Each codon in mRNA corresponds to a specific amino acid in a protein sequence.
Are amino acid that are represented by one codon?
yes, but there are amino acids can be represented by many codons.
How many bases are required to be in a codon to specify twenty different amino acids?
There are a total of three bases that make up a codon.
How many amino acids does each condon code for?
No they are not. For a codon, there are 4^3 = 64 codon combinations, but only 20 [common] amino acids. The 4 represents the 4 nitrogenous bases, and the ^3 represents the arrangement into a codon (3 bp). An example of an amino acid that is specified by more than one amino acid is Alanine, which is specified by any of the following combinations: GUU, GUC, GUA, GUG. Because most amino acids have more than one codon, the genetic code is called "degenerate".
How many bases are needed to make 3 amino acids?
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.
A codon is a triplet base sequence?
mRNA
How many symbols are in the genetic code?
there are 64 codon for diffrent amino acids in human being and three amino acid codon for a specific amino acid eg AUG stand for methionin amino acids ADENINE URACIL GUANIN
How many different nucleotides would have to be present in a codon to code for 14 different amino acids?
2
How many nucleotide bases does it take to specify 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
How many amino acids are coded for a c t c c t g a a?
Each codon is three bases long - and a codon codes for one amino acid. Therefore this strand (9 bases long) could code for 3 amino acids. (Except if the DNA code was ACT, this would create the codon UGA on the mRNA, which is a stop codon. The amino acid chain would therefore terminate at this point).
How many codons are needed to specify 2 amino acids?
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
How many amino acids will be in the polypeptide that is formed when uacguacguucaacu is translated?
Five. Each codon consists of a sequence of three nitrogen bases, and each codon codes for a specific amino acid, or a start or stop command.
