How many amino acids are coded for a c t c c t g a a?

Each codon is three bases long - and a codon codes for one amino acid. Therefore this strand (9 bases long) could code for 3 amino acids. (Except if the DNA code was ACT, this would create the codon UGA on the mRNA, which is a stop codon. The amino acid chain would therefore terminate at this point).


Why does a deletion mutation usually cause more defects during protein synthesis than a point mutation?

Deletion mutations can affect the entire base sequence.


What is the trna strand for a t t c g a c c t a c g?

tRNA does not copy a strand of DNA - that is what mRNA does.So for the DNA strand ATT-CGA-CCT-ACG:the mRNA strand would be UAA-GCU-GGA-UGCtRNA is responsible for carrying the correct amino acid to match up with the codon (three letter code) on the mRNA. The first codon here is UAA - which is a stop codon - meaning the peptide chain being created will not proceed beyond this.


Which types of RNA are made by transcription?

mRNA messenger ribonucleic acid The nucleotide sequence of RNA is encoded in genes in the DNA, and it is transcribed from the DNA by a http://www.answers.com/topic/complementary templating mechanism that is http://www.answers.com/topic/catalyze by one of the http://www.answers.com/topic/rna-polymerase enzymes. In this templating scheme, the DNA base T specifies A in the RNA, A specifies U, C specifies G, and G specifies C.* As per www.answers.com


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.

What is the theoretical number of chemically different dipeptides that may be assembled from 12 different types of amino acids?

the answer is C (144). The working is: 12^2 = 144. Here 12 is the no. of different amino acids and 2 is the no. of amino acids in the chain (its a dipeptide so, 2 amino acids).


What is C H O in amino acids?

C H O are the chemical elements found in all amino acids. Carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O) are present in different proportions in the different amino acids that make up proteins.


Which vitamin is needed to synthesize nonessential amino acids from essential amino acids?

Vitamin C is needed to synthesize nonessentail amino acids from essential amino acids.


What kind of bond connects two amino acids?

Excluding the stop sequence how many nucleotides are necessary to code for a polypeptide that is 100 amino acids long?

300 nucleotides are needed to code for a polypeptide that is 100 amino acids long, because each amino acid is coded for by a sequence of 3 nucleotides (codon), and there are 100 amino acids in the polypeptide.


Is C H O amino acids?

No, amino acids are organic compounds composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. Proteins, which are made up of amino acids, are essential for various biological functions in the body.


What building blocks contain N in addition to C H and O?

Proteins: They were made up of amino acids which is composed of Carboxylic group and an amino group.


What are the Elements and the essential elements of amino acids?

Two Part Question: Regarding Elements: Take Carbohydrates [C and H and O] and add Nitrogen and we get amino acids which are the constituent building blocks of Proteins. The essential elements of amino-acids that comprise Proteins are i) the unique -C-C-N-C-C-N-C-C-N- [poly] - Peptide Bonds, and ii) the side chain [also called the -R group] that is attached to the free [outward pointing] Nitrogen bond.

What is polypeptide?

The official definition of a polypeptide is a linear organic polymer consisting of a large number of amino-acid residues bonded together in a chain, forming part of (or the whole of) a protein molecule. (a string of amino acids)


How do you distinguish different amino acids?

By their side chains. All amino acids have this structure: HOOC- C - NH2 Attached to that middle C is the side chain. They can have many different properties- They can be aromatic, polar, lipophilic, basic, acidic, Sulfur containing, among others There are 20 amino acids inside the human body, each has a different structure and function, due to its properties.
