How many amino acids are there if you have 1500 base pairs?
There are three base pairs in each amino acid. If you have 1500 base pairs you would have 500 amino acids.
How many bases are needed to specify 3 amino acids?
nine. one amino acid is composed of three bases.
WHich of these is the smallest.?
Dipeptide,amino acid,polypeptide,protein Amino Acid is the answer
Are proteins polymers 20 different nucleotides?
No, proteins are not composed of nucleotides. Proteins are polymers made up of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. Nucleotides are the building blocks of nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA.
How do nucleotides translate into amino acids?
Nucleotides in messenger RNA (mRNA) are read in sets of three, known as codons. Each codon corresponds to a specific amino acid. Transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules recognize the codons on the mRNA and bring the corresponding amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis. This process is called translation.
What does a group of three nucleotides code for?
DNA nucleotides 'code' for RNA copies of the DNA strand, but the true 'coding' of nucleotides happen in the ribosome where amino acids are matched to the RNA nucleotides. Nucleotides in DNA are only are present to store genetic data. When a particular gene needs to be used or a protein needs to be made, a RNA copy of the DNA will be made, using the slightly different RNA nucleotides (adenine, uracil, cytosine and guanine). This copy then leaves the nucleus and travels to the ribosome, where the RNA nucleotides are used to assemble amino acids into proteins. Each amino acid matches up to a three-nucleotide sequence.
Molecules of DNA are composed of a long chain are called?
Molecules of DNA are composed of a long chain of nucleotides.
Which nucleotides build proteins?
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, not nucleotides. Nucleotides are the building blocks of nucleic acids like DNA and RNA.
Nucleotides are to nucleic acids as amino acids are to?
An amino acid is the monomer used to create proteins. Nucleotides are the basic unit used to make nucleic acids (such as DNA). Therefore an amino acid is to a protein as a nucleotide is to a nucleic acid.
What are the sub-units or monomers for nucleic acids?
The sub-units or monomers for nucleic acids are nucleotides. Each nucleotide consists of a phosphate group, a sugar molecule (either ribose in RNA or deoxyribose in DNA), and a nitrogenous base (adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine, or uracil).
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.
How many nucleotides are needed to specify three acids?
Nine nucleotides are needed to specify three amino acids.
How do nucleotides in the RNA molecule code for various amino acids How many nucleotides code for one amino acid?
Each nucleotide is made up of an organic base, a pentose sugar and a phosphate. Nucleotides can be arranged in various different orders and that order dictates which amino acid it codes for, three amino acids code for one nucleotide. Is this enough detail?
Is proteins composed of nucleotides?
No, they are composed of Amino acids.
Amino acids are the building block for what?
nucleotides
