No, 10 codons do not result in 30 amino acids. Each codon corresponds to a single amino acid, so 10 codons would result in 10 amino acids. The genetic code is read in triplets, where each codon is made up of three nucleotides, but the number of amino acids produced is equal to the number of codons.

Oligopeptides are a string of how many amino acids?

Oligopeptides are composed of 2 to 20 amino acids. They are shorter than polypeptides, which typically consist of more than 20 amino acids.


What is formed when 10 amino acids are bonded together?

When 10 amino acids are bonded together, a peptide is formed. Peptides are short chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds.


Does changing the sequence of nucleotides always result in a change in the sequence of amino acids?

This is actually false. DNA strands that codes for amino acids do so using 3 nucleic acids to encode an amino acid. Since there are 4 nucleic acids with 3 positions each, there are 64 possible nucleic acid "words". There are only 20 amino acids that are directly coded by these 3-nucleic-acid-words. All 64 "words" are valid. but the number of nucleic acid "spellings" that code for a particular amino acid varies from 1 to 6. There are many mutations where one or more changes to a nucleic acid sequence will not change the protein being made; so long as the changes are simply different "spellings" of the same amino acid. A statistical example: There are around 57,000 different "spellings" of the first 10 amino acids in human serum albumin that will produce the protein correctly.


20 kinds of amino acids?

The twenty standard, or alpha, amino acids are alanine, arginine, asparagine, aspartic acid, cysteine, glutamic acid, glutamine, glycine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, proline, serine, threonine, tryptophan, tyrosine, and valine. More than 150 other amino acids have been found in nature, most often in fungi and plants.


How many amino acids make up a protein in humans?

There 20 amino acids make up proteins in human body.10 out of 20 amino acids produced in body by it self and 10 must be suplied in diet

How many amino acids are coded for a c t c c t g a a?

Each codon is three bases long - and a codon codes for one amino acid. Therefore this strand (9 bases long) could code for 3 amino acids. (Except if the DNA code was ACT, this would create the codon UGA on the mRNA, which is a stop codon. The amino acid chain would therefore terminate at this point).


What is the function of amino acid?

They make up proteins.


Amino acids are classified as what and what?

Of the 20 amino acids, 10 must be taken in from an outside source; these are called nonessential amino acids.============================================================Actually its the other way round, amino acids that the human body can't manufacture are called essential amino acids. Non-essential amino acids are able to be produced by the body. Of the 20 amino acids that our bodies use, the adult body is able to manufacture 12For more information, check the link below


How many nucleotides are necessary to code for a polypeptide that is 200 amino acids long?

A minimum of 600 nucleotides is necessary to code for a polypeptide that is 200 amino acids long because each amino acid is coded for by a sequence of three nucleotides in mRNA. This is due to the genetic code being triplet, where every three nucleotides represent one amino acid.

How many amino acids do living things contain?

There are twenty amino acids, of which around half are made in the body. The other 10 are called 'essential amino acids', because they cannot be formed in our cells, so we must take them in, in our diet.


How do amino acids work in the digestive system?

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.Amino acid molecules tied up and make a protein chain in D.N.A. There are different kind of amino acids.The type of amino acids decide the shape of the protein to perform repair work in the cell of our different organ. human body can not produce amino acids. It ingested in our body through food.


Why does animals cannot make their own food?

This is because animals are heterotrophic. We cannot manufacture essential amino acids in the body ( these are usually amino acids 8/10) so tear amino acids need to be obtained externally from food sources. Of we do not eat food the the body will not be able to produce these essential amino acids and the essential proteins that are needed by the body.
