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.

A long chain of many amino acids is called a?
Polypeptides are chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds.
How many ribosomes are needed for the production of a polypeptide containing thirty amino acids?
One.
What is the smallest structure between dipeptide amino acid polypeptide and protein?
Amino acid = Smallest building block of proteins; 20 of them. In this order. Amino acid < dipeptide ( two peptides ) < polypeptide (many peptides ) < Protein
A polypeptide found in the cytoplasm of a cell contains 12 amino acids How many nucleotides would be required in the mRNA for this polypeptide to be translated?
12 Because 1 nucleotide=1 Amino Acid.
Proteins are made up of many?
Amino acids... Like this Protien>amino acids>RNA nucleotides The amazing thing is that only 20 different amino acids exist in the human body yet mix/match/repeat to make all of the protiens in the body!
How many strings of amino acids dose a polypeptide consist of?
a polypeptide is ten or more amino acids bonded together
A long chain of many amino acids is called a?
Polypeptides are chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds.
Chain of many amino acids linked together?
polypeptide
How many polypeptide chains can be made from 9 amino acids?
3
How many amino acids will be in the first amino acid in every growing polypeptide?
If a polypeptide contains 9 peptide bonds, how many amino acids does it contain?
How many ribosomes are needed for the production of a polypeptide containing thirty amino acids?
One.
How many waters form when four amino acids join together to form a polypeptide?
No
How many bases does a gene coding for a polypeptide made of 51 amino acids have?
153
What is the smallest structure between dipeptide amino acid polypeptide and protein?
Amino acid = Smallest building block of proteins; 20 of them. In this order. Amino acid < dipeptide ( two peptides ) < polypeptide (many peptides ) < Protein
What is an example of poplypeptide?
Meat is a polypeptide. Any string or group of 50 amino acids is a polypeptide this includes DNA or RNA as well as many enzymes.
A polypeptide found in the cytoplasm of a cell contains 12 amino acids How many nucleotides would be required in the mRNA for this polypeptide to be translated?
12 Because 1 nucleotide=1 Amino Acid.
What do you get if you join many amino acids?
A polypeptide. Proteins are made up of polypeptides (one or several, depending on the protein).
