The properties of proteins are determined by the order in which different amino acids are joined together to produce polypeptides.

The genetic code is read three letters at a time, so that each "word" of the coded message is three bases long.

When the four DNA bases are combined in triplets different what of the protein are called for?

When the four DNA bases are combined in triplets, different amino acids are called for. Each triplet of bases, called a codon, corresponds to a specific amino acid, which is part of the protein synthesis process.


How many bases needed to specify three amino acids?

i think nine bases are needed for three amino acids because i think it takes three bases to make one amino acid

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 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.


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).


What is the minimum number of different amino acid needed to synthesized most proteins?

20 different amino acids are needed to synthesize most proteins. These amino acids can be combined in different sequences to create an almost infinite variety of protein structures and functions. Each amino acid has its own unique side chain that contributes to the overall properties of the protein.


Amino acid as acids and bases?

Amino acids are organic molecules which proteins are build from. There are twenty. However there is two amino acids which are acidic: Aspartic acid and glutamic acid.


How many amino acid sequences can be made from four amino acids?

There are 20 common amino acids (pre-modification). In a set of any four, each one could be one of 20, meaning there are 204 possible combinations: 160,000. If the question was meant to be "how many amino acids can be made from 4 triplet codons then the answer would still be exactly the same. Even though there are 4 bases, meaning there are 64 different codes possible, there are still only 20 amino acids available. If the question was meant to be "how many amino acids can be made from 4 bases" you can only make one (which could be any of 20 different residues), as you need three bases to code one amino acid. See the related question below for a listing of the types of amino acids.


How many bases are needed to specify 3 amino acids?

nine. one amino acid is composed of three bases.
