By having more codons to code a particular amino acids, it makes it easier to produce in the cell and need to be supplemented from food(essential amino acids are normally not synthesized in our cell).

What is a nucleotide polymer?

A nucleotide polymer is a long chain made up of nucleotide units bonded together. Each nucleotide consists of a nitrogenous base, a sugar molecule, and a phosphate group. Nucleotide polymers form the backbone of DNA and RNA molecules.


Why is the nucleotide code a triplet as opposed to a doublet or quartlet?

The nucleotide code is a triplet because each amino acid is encoded by a sequence of three nucleotides, known as a codon. This triplet system allows for 64 possible combinations (4^3) from the four nucleotides (adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine), which is sufficient to encode the 20 standard amino acids and provide redundancy to accommodate variations in genetic sequences. A doublet would only allow for 16 combinations (4^2), which is insufficient for the diversity of amino acids, while a quartlet would provide an excess of combinations, potentially complicating the coding system without necessity.


What does a nucleotide not contain?

A nucleotide does not contain amino acids. Nucleotides are composed of a nitrogenous base, a sugar molecule, and a phosphate group. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, which are separate from nucleotides in terms of their structure and function.


Is DNA and RNA made up of proteins lipids or nucleic acids?

They are nucleic acids. They are made up of nucleotide bases.


How many combinations of amino acids do enzymes have?

Enzymes are proteins composed of 20 different amino acids, so the number of possible combinations of amino acids in an enzyme is vast, with 20 amino acids at each position in the protein chain. The total number of potential combinations is calculated as 20 raised to the power of the number of amino acids in the enzyme.


What are the repeating units of proteins?

the repeating units of protein are called amino acids.
