Simple answer FIVE. Each codon is made up of links. There are three links to the codon. Each codon codes for a single amino acid. A polypeptide is a string of amino acids. The term is usually used for smaller polypeptide chains. Larger chains are usually referred to as proteins although not all proteins are simply polypeptides. Heomoglobin, for example, contains a heme group.
15 .Each amino acid is coded by a codon and each codon contains 3 bases .
15 DNA bases
There are 64 codons (3-base code) that represent 20 amino acids and 3 stop signals. Click on the related link to see a table of DNA codons and the amino acids for which they code.
UAA UGA UAG They are stop codons and do not code for any amino acids.
The sequence of codons in mRNA, or messenger RNA, is most directly responsible for the sequence of amino acids in a protein. Each codon is comprised of 3 nucleotides.
One codon is 3 bases long - this codes for one amino acid. Therefore you would need 9 bases (3 codons) to make 3 amino acids.
Starting from the translation start codon in the mRNA molecule, each three bases corresponds to a single amino acid, until you reach the stop signal. Some amino acids have more that one triplet that codes for them (redundancy). Some parts of the mRNA molecule are untranslated and therefore do not correspond to amino acids.
mRNA
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).

The linear sequence of codons on mRNA determines the linear sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide.
yes, but there are amino acids can be represented by many codons.
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.
The triplet code means that 64 codons translate into only 20 amino acids. The additional 44 codons are not used for anything, but they are rather a redundancy in the code.
