How do nucleotides in the RNA molecule code for various amino acids How many nucleotides code for one amino acid?
Shstar1
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?

What does a group of three nucleotides code for?
DNA nucleotides 'code' for RNA copies of the DNA strand, but the true 'coding' of nucleotides happen in the ribosome where amino acids are matched to the RNA nucleotides. Nucleotides in DNA are only are present to store genetic data. When a particular gene needs to be used or a protein needs to be made, a RNA copy of the DNA will be made, using the slightly different RNA nucleotides (adenine, uracil, cytosine and guanine). This copy then leaves the nucleus and travels to the ribosome, where the RNA nucleotides are used to assemble amino acids into proteins. Each amino acid matches up to a three-nucleotide sequence.
Which scientific explanation below best describes a polymer?
Amino acids and nucleotides are examples of polymers
Building blocks of DNA?
the building block or subunit of DNA and rna is amino acids or it might be nuclic acids( not sure)
What elements make up protien?
They are made od amino-acids. In chemistry, an amino acid is a molecule that contains both amine and carboxyl functional groups. In biochemistry, this term refers to alpha-amino acids with the general formula H2NCHRCOOH, where R is an organic substituent. Alpha-amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.
How many water molecules are released when you join five amino acids?
Three molecules of water are formed when four amino acids join together. This is the result of three amide bonds that underwent condensation reactions.
Molecules of DNA are composed of a long chain are called?
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.
How do nucleotides translate into amino acids?
A codon of nucleotides codes for an amino acid. The combination of nucleotides in a codon determines the amino acid the codon makes.
What molecule do amino acids form?
the guru molecule is formed by amino acids
Which nucleotides build proteins?
No, nucleotides ar e the building blocks for nucleic acids such as DNA or RNA. The building blocks for proteins are amino acids.
What type of molecule is formed of amino acids?
the guru molecule is formed by amino acids
What are the sub-units or monomers for nucleic acids?
Amino acids
What molecule links together to form proteins?
Amino acids
How many nucleotides are needed to specify three acids?
Nine nucleotides are needed to specify three amino acids.
How many nucleotides are necessary to code for a polypeptide that is 200 amino acids long?
In the genetic code, a sequence of three nucleotides forms a codon, which codes for one amino acid. So for each amino acid, there are three nucleotides. Therefore, 600 nucleotides are needed to make 200 amino acids.
Is proteins composed of nucleotides?
No, they are composed of Amino acids.
Amino acids are the building block for what?
nucleotides
