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.


What 3 codons do not carry amino acids?

There are three codons that do not code for any amino acids: the stop codons. These are TAG, TAA, and TGA (in DNA, not RNA).


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.


How many protein-coding codons are there?

61 codons specify the amino acids used in proteins and 3 codons (stop codons) signal termination of growth of the polypeptide chain...so 64 total


How do amino acids specify codons?

Nucleutoides.


How many codons would be needed to construct a protein that is composed of 45 amino acids?

You would need 135 codons for a protein composed of 45 amino acids. This is because each amino acid is coded for by a sequence of three nucleotides (codon), so you would need three codons for every amino acid.


How many codons are needed too specify three amino acids?

3


What does each codon code for?

Each codon codes for a specific amino acid, which is a building block of proteins. The sequence of codons in mRNA determines the sequence of amino acids in a protein. There are 64 possible codons, with 61 coding for amino acids and 3 serving as stop codons to signal the end of protein synthesis.


What condons do not code for amino acids?

Stop codons (also known as nonsense codons) do not code for amino acids. These include UAG, UAA, and UGA. When a stop codon is encountered during translation, it signals the termination of protein synthesis.


What type of Molecule is needed to form protein molecules?

Amino acids are the molecules needed to form protein molecules. Proteins are made up of long chains of amino acids.


How manny codons are needed to specify three amino acids?

three. (= 9 nucleotides)


Why are there more codons than amino acids in the genetic code?

There are more codons than amino acids in the genetic code because multiple codons can code for the same amino acid. This redundancy helps protect against errors in the genetic code and allows for greater flexibility in protein synthesis.
