If there are three amino acids how many bases would there be on the M RNA to make these three?

Each amino acid is encoded by a set of three nucleotide bases in mRNA, known as a codon. Therefore, to encode three amino acids, there would need to be a total of nine nucleotide bases in the mRNA (3 amino acids x 3 bases per amino acid = 9 bases).

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.


How do nucleotides in the RNA molecule code for various amino acids How many nucleotides code for one amino acid?

Each nucleotide is made up of an organic base, a pentose sugar and a phosphate. Nucleotides can be arranged in various different orders and that order dictates which amino acid it codes for, three amino acids code for one nucleotide. Is this enough detail?


How many acids are their?

amino acids?? 20 amino acids


How many bases does a gene coding for a polypeptide made of 51 amino acids have?

A gene coding for a polypeptide made of 51 amino acids would have (51 \times 3 = 153) bases. Each amino acid is coded by a sequence of three nucleotide bases in mRNA called a codon. So, the number of bases required to code for a polypeptide can be calculated by multiplying the number of amino acids by 3.


How many amino acids would be in a protein that is coded by a DNA strand ninety-nine nucleotides long?

If all the nucleotides are protein coding with no control sequences, then 33. Each amino acid is coded for by 3 nucleotide bases. 99 divided by 3 = 33.


How many amino acids are there if you have 1500 base pairs?

There are three base pairs in each amino acid. If you have 1500 base pairs you would have 500 amino acids.


If a protein is 3300 amino acids long how many nucleotides pairs long is the gene sequence that codes for this protein?

Since each amino acid is coded for by a combination of three nucleotide bases (a codon), the number of nucleotides in the gene sequence would be 3300 * 3 = 9900 nucleotide base pairs long.
