If there are 12 nucleotides, the number of mRNA codons can be calculated by dividing the total number of nucleotides by 3, since each codon consists of 3 nucleotides. Therefore, with 12 nucleotides, there would be 12 / 3 = 4 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 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 nucleotides would be in the strand c c g t c a a g t a c g?

Each of these letters stands for a base (which is part of one nucleotide). Therefore because there are 12 bases, there would be 12 nucleotides in the strand.


How many atoms are in a gene?

A typical human gene contains around 20,000 base pairs which translates to approximately 6,000 codons. Each codon consists of three nucleotides, so a gene can contain about 18,000 nucleotides. Since each nucleotide contains multiple atoms (e.g. carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus), it is difficult to provide an exact number of atoms without knowing the specific gene sequence.
