There are a total of three bases that make up a codon.


How many bases on a strand of mRNA code for one amino acid?

3 nucleotides


How many nucleotide bases does it take to specify one amino acid?

i think nine bases are needed for three amino acids because i think it takes three bases to make one amino acid


How many codons are needed to specify 2 amino acids?

each codon have 3 nitrogenous bases . 3 nitrogenous bases = 1 amino acid or say 1 codon =1 amino acid ,so 2 codon = 2 amino acid


How many amino acids does a codon contain?

A codon contains three amino acids. Each codon in mRNA corresponds to a specific amino acid in a protein sequence.


How many amino acids make a codon?

One codon specifies a specific amino acid. However, more than one codon can code for the same amino acid. For example, the codon GUU codes for the specific amino acid valine; and the codons GUC, GUA, and GUG also code for valine.


How many bases are needed to specify an mRNA codon?

3 bases are needed to specify an mRNA codon.


How many codones are neded for a single amino acid?

3, a three-nucleotide codon in a nucleic acid sequence specifies a single amino acid.The code defines how sequences of three nucleotides, called codons, specify which amino acid will be added next during protein synthesis


How many bases do codons have?

Codons consist of three bases. Each codon corresponds to a specific amino acid or a stop signal in the genetic code.


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).


How many bases are needed to make 3 amino acids?

To make 3 amino acids, you would need at least 9 bases. This is because each amino acid is encoded by a sequence of 3 bases called a codon. So, 3 amino acids would require 3 codons, which would be 9 bases in total.


How many amino acids will be in the polypeptide that is formed when uacguacguucaacu is translated?

Five. Each codon consists of a sequence of three nitrogen bases, and each codon codes for a specific amino acid, or a start or stop command.
