Proteins are made up of only 20 types of amino acids , for which only 20 codons are needed , all codon are tripplet , as UUU ,CCC AAA GGG AUG , see genetic code at wikipedia .

What is the function of the nitrogen in the human body?

There a number of important elements that the body uses: C,H,N,O,P, S (CHNOPS). As you see nitrogen is one of these 6. The most important use is in the nitrogen bases. These include DNA and RNA. Each has a nitrogenous base. The ones in DNA code for proteins. This code is for production of an organism such as ourselves. RNA also has bases and RNA is important in the "reading" and "translation" of these bases.


Which elements is found in both protein and nucleic acids?

Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen and nitrogen.


In the genetic code a group of three nitrogen bases code for a specific?

amino acid


How do nitrogen bases along a gene serve as a genetic code?

Yes, it is found in pairs Adenine with Thymine and Guanine with Cytosine...they are directly across from each other (horizontally) on the DNA line ( also known as a double helix) there can be many of these on one double helix


Why does the order of nitrogen bases matter?

if the order of nitrogenous bases is mixed up the chemical reactions will be the wrong result. they are set in a specific order for a reason Adenine pairs with Thymine(Double bond) Guanine pairs with Cytosine (Triple Bond) A & G are purine bases and T & C are pyrimidine bases. this is the order


What is the code that real DNA use to store information?

The DNA code is carried in the sequence of nitrogen bases.


How many nitrogen bases are needed to code for one amino acid?

3


What do bases in DNA code for?

Amino acids, which can then be built up to form proteins.


What sequence of bases determines an organisms?

The interpretation of the sequence of bases results in The Genetic Code. Translation of the sequence of bases using the Genetic Code results in the sequence-specific production of proteins.


How can only four nitrogen bases make up All the protein in your bodies?

Proteins are made of hundreds of amino acids joined together, each 3 base code in the RNA corresponds to an amino acid.


How do the nitrogen base along a gene serve as a genetic code?

The order of the nitrogen bases along a gene forms a genetic code that specifies what type of protein will be produced


What are the 4 nitrogen bases and their function?

The four nitrogen bases are Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine. Their job is composing a code for DNA to shape the physical characteristics of most living things.
