A three-nucleotide sequence makes up a codon.


How many letters make up a codon?

A codon is made up of three nucleotides, or three letters (A, C, G, or T) in the genetic code. Each codon codes for a specific amino acid in a protein sequence.


How many nucleotides are required to encode one amino acid?

A codon, or a 3-base code is required to code for one amino acid.


How many tRNA nucleotides form an anitcodon that will attach to the mRNA codon?

The codon and the anticodon interact with each other via hydrogen bonding, hence both the codon and anticodon are made up of the same number of nucleotides, which is three.


How many nucleotides are needed to specify one codon?

three.


How many different codon combinations are there in the genetic code?

There are 64 different codon combinations in the genetic code.


How many codons are there in an mRNA with 75 nucleotides?

Every codon is three nucleotide pairs, so you would have 25 codons.


A polypeptide found in the cytoplasm of a cell contains 12 amino acids How many nucleotides would be required in the mRNA for this polypeptide to be translated?

Since each amino acid is coded for by a specific triplet of nucleotides (codon), and there is a start codon and a stop codon, we need 15 nucleotides in the mRNA (3 nucleotides for each amino acid + 3 for start codon + 3 for stop codon).


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

3 nucleotides


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.
