How many triplets make up the vocabulary of DNA?
The vocabulary of DNA is made up of 64 different triplets, known as codons. These codons are formed from combinations of the four nucleotide bases: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T). Each codon corresponds to a specific amino acid or a stop signal during protein synthesis, allowing for the encoding of genetic information.
How many natural occurring amino acids does the genetic code allow for?
There are 64 possible triplets. At least one of the triplets needs to be a stop codon, so theoretically 63 different amino acids can be coded for. In practice, there's some redundancy, and in humans all codons are either stop codons or translate to one of twenty amino acids.
What is the connection between base triplets and codes?
Base triplets are the building blocks of codons in DNA. Each base triplet, consisting of three nucleotides, corresponds to a specific amino acid or a stop signal in the genetic code. This relationship between base triplets and codes allows for the translation of DNA sequences into proteins.
Do triplets have the same DNA?
Yes, triplets come from the same fertilized egg or zygote, so they share the same DNA and are genetically identical. However, small variations can still occur due to epigenetic factors or random mutations.
How do chromosomes and genes play a role in the genetic variation of offspring?
DNA contain many genes. and with 2 different parents with many different genes and traits of their own, the number of possible combination is enormous
In relation to protein what is called for when DNA bases are combined in different triplets?
When DNA bases are combined into different 3-base codes, called triplets or codons, different amino acids are called for to create the protein chain.
If a man or woman lived hypothetically forever is there a limit to how many children they can produce if so how many is it and is it possible to produce children of exact DNA without being twins?
Yes, there is a limit. The woman would eventually run out of eggs. Individuals with exact DNA matches are either twins(triplets...) or clones.

Are identical triplets exactly the same at birth?
Exactly - no. They're usually a bit different in size. Fingerprints are different. And if their DNA is VERY CLOSELY analysed, there will be tiny, tiny differences that has occurred since the egg split.
How do fraternal triplets develop?
Fraternal triplets develop when three separate eggs are fertilized by three different sperm during the same conception cycle. Each baby has its own placenta and amniotic sac, resulting in three distinct individuals sharing the womb. Fraternal triplets are no more genetically similar than siblings born at different times.
What is the name for the 3-based words written in DNA and RNA?
In DNA, three bases in a row are known as triplets. In RNA, they are known as codons.
What is a DNA fingerprint who can have the same DNA fingerprint as yours?
A DNA fingerprint is really all the genes that are found in in your chromosomes. No two are ever alike except for identical twins (or triplets).
Why do people look different than each other?
It is all in the DNA or genes. No one, except identical twins, triplets or quads have the exact same DNA. That DNA is going to express itself in slight differences in the face, height, color of skin, hair thickness and amount of curl, eye color, finger prints and many more traits. This is one reason that DNA is the very best way of identifying a person.
How does pregnancy result in triplets?
This can depend on a few different scientific factors. The first scenario is that the woman releases more than one egg. If more than one egg is released and a sperm finds each one of the eggs than it is possible to have as many babies as there are eggs released. The most common form of multiples happens when multiple sperm fertilize one single egg. If there are multiple sperm cells in one egg the cell then splits and creates as many fetuses as there were sperm. This is why there are identical twins and triplets, they share every bit the same DNA
