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.

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.
Transfer RNA comes in sets of three bases. You can arrange four different things into a large number different sets of three. Each combination of bases in Transfer RNA codes for a different amino acid.
Amino acids all contain the carboxyl group (-CO2H), which is acidic. If named by IUPAC nomenclature they would be referred to as acids as well. For example glycine, the simplest amino acid, would be 2-aminoethanoic acid.

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

amino acids
There are a total of three bases that make up a codon.
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.
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).
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 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.
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.
nine. one amino acid is composed of three bases.
