If you means a polypeptide with 10 amino acids then 450 nucleotides at least .

What is the maximum length of a polypeptide encoded by an mRNA that is 45 nucleotides long?

The maximum length of a polypeptide encoded by an mRNA is determined by the number of nucleotides in the mRNA sequence. Each amino acid is encoded by a set of three nucleotides called a codon. With a 45-nucleotide mRNA sequence, the maximum length of the polypeptide would be 45/3 = 15 amino acids.


What are three nucleotides that specify a single amino acid to be added to a polypeptide?

CONDON


Nucleotides are responsible for directing the addition of a particular amino acid to a polypeptide?

Essentially, yes. mRNA, which is made from nucleotides, have specific codons attached to them which codes for specific types of amino acids, which sort of guides the addition of amino acids to the polypeptide chain.


What polypeptide would you expect from a poly-G mRNA that is 30 nucleotides long?

A poly-G mRNA that is 30 nucleotides long would result in a polypeptide consisting solely of glycine amino acids. This is because each codon codes for a specific amino acid, and in this case, every codon (GGG) codes for glycine.


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 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.


The order of the amino acids in a polypeptide chain are determind by the order of nucleotides in the what?

The order of amino acids in a polypeptide chain (protein) is determined by the order of nucleotide triplets in the messenger RNA, or mRNA, chain that was transcribed from the DNA inside the nucleus for that specific protein.


Made up of three adjacent nucleotides and is responsible for directing the addition of a particular amino acid to a polypeptide?

tRNA (transfer RNA)


How many DNA nucleotides make up a gene with a protein with 150 amino acids?

A gene with a protein containing 150 amino acids would require 450 nucleotides. This is because each amino acid is coded by three nucleotides in DNA.


What do 3 nucleotides represent?

Three nucleotide represent a codon, which, when translated from mRNA to tRNA, codes for a particular amino acid in a polypeptide chain.


How many amino acids would be in a molecule containing 15000 nucleotides?

One amino acid is encoded by 3 nucleotides. That means 150 amino acids are encoded by 150*3=450 nucleotides. But there are also Start and Stop condons, which are also encoded by 3 nucleotides each. Therefore, I guess, the theoretical minimum is 450 nucleotides and the full (maximum) should be 450+ 3+ 3= 456 nucleotides.


What contains information to produce a single polypeptide?

Messenger RNA (mRNA) contains the information needed to produce a single polypeptide during translation. The sequence of nucleotides in the mRNA molecule is translated by ribosomes to determine the order of amino acids in the polypeptide chain. This process occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell.
