3 nucleotides code for 1 amino acid
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.
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.
Polypeptides are chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds.
A single transfer RNA (tRNA) carries a single amino acid.
No. A protein is defined by its function, as much as its structure. A chain of two amino acids would have no protein-like functions. The smallest known protein is a chain of 20 amino acids, but most have many more, and sometimes consist of multiple chains of amino acids.

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).
5, this was a bio question for me at Edison community college.
That strand should have 3 amino acids, because one amino acid is composed of three nucleotide bases.
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?
amino acids?? 20 amino acids
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.
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.
There are three base pairs in each amino acid. If you have 1500 base pairs you would have 500 amino acids.
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.

It would take 19 peptide bonds to make a protein of 20 amino acids.
