Each nucleotide is made up of an organic base, a pentose sugar and a phosphate. Nucleotides can be arranged in various different orders and that order dictates which amino acid it codes for, three amino acids code for one nucleotide.

Is this enough detail?

A DNA molecule is composed of long chains of DNA nucleotides.


In what form did DNA exist before the evolution of cellular organisms?

amino acids formed from chemicals. DNA is a molecule, and it is a molecule containing other smaller molecules. DNA ->Nucleotides -> Amino Acids -> Chemicals.


What is the difference between amino acids and nucleotides in terms of their structure and function?

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and have a basic structure consisting of an amino group, a carboxyl group, and a side chain. Nucleotides, on the other hand, are the building blocks of nucleic acids like DNA and RNA, and consist of a phosphate group, a sugar molecule, and a nitrogenous base. Amino acids are involved in protein synthesis and various metabolic processes, while nucleotides are involved in storing and transferring genetic information.


Is amino acids a structure of RNA?

No, amino acids are not a structure of RNA. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, while RNA is a molecule involved in protein synthesis. RNA is made up of nucleotides, not amino acids.


Which nucleotides build proteins?

Is DNA an amino acid that encodes protein sequences?

No, DNA is not an amino acid. DNA is a nucleic acid composed of two chains of nucleotides. The sequence of nucleotides encodes for amino acids (almost every triplet of nucleotides encodes for some amino acid). The amino acids in turn build proteins. Please see the related link for more information.


How much nucleotides for 150 polypeptide?

To calculate the number of nucleotides required to code for a specific polypeptide, you need to know the number of amino acids in the polypeptide. Since each amino acid is coded by a codon made up of three nucleotides, you would need 3 times the number of amino acids to determine the total number of nucleotides required. For a 150 amino acid polypeptide, the number of nucleotides would be 150 (amino acids) * 3 (nucleotides per amino acid) = 450 nucleotides.

How many codons are in 150 amino acids?

There are 150 codons required to code for 150 amino acids in a protein. Each amino acid is coded for by a specific sequence of three nucleotides (a codon) in the mRNA molecule during protein synthesis.
