There are 64 codons (3-base code) that represent 20 amino acids and 3 stop signals.

There are a total of 16 possible dipeptides that can be formed from combining the four amino acids (4 amino acids * 4 amino acids = 16 dipeptides).
The correct pairing of the 4 amino acids is based on complementary base pairing in nucleic acids: adenine pairs with thymine, and cytosine pairs with guanine.
peptides which are constructed from amino-acids
There are 20 standard amino acids that are commonly found in proteins. However, there are also some non-standard amino acids that can be incorporated into proteins under specific conditions.
Amino acids are called amino acids because they contain an amino group (-NH2) and a carboxyl group (-COOH) in their chemical structure. These two functional groups are essential for the formation of proteins and are characteristic of all amino acids.
There are three base pairs in each amino acid. If you have 1500 base pairs you would have 500 amino acids.
20 Amino Acids
Amino acids make up proteins.

Their are 20 base amino acids. The body can produce 12 of them- the other 8 need to be obtained from food.
mRNA
No, nucleic acids do not contain amino acids. Nucleic acids are polymers made up of nucleotides, which consist of a nitrogenous base, a sugar, and a phosphate group. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.

Fructose is a saccharide, and is not constructed of amino acids
A nucleotide does not contain any amino acids. Nucleotides are the building blocks of DNA and RNA and consist of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and are coded for by sequences of nucleotides in DNA.
There are 22 "standard" amino acids, although many others exist
