TRIPLET CODE
Nine nucleotides are needed to specify three amino acids.
Three nucleotides are required for an amino acid. These nucleotides are an amine, carbolic acid, and a side chain specific to the amino acid.
three. (= 9 nucleotides)
CONDON
Codon
It takes three nucleotide bases to specify one amino acid. This group of three nucleotides is called a codon, and each codon corresponds to a specific amino acid in the genetic code.
Three bases are needed to specify an mRNA codon. Each codon consists of a sequence of three nucleotides that encode a specific amino acid.
A codon is the combination of three mRNA nucleotides that codes for a specific amino acid in protein synthesis.
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.
Nucleutoides.
Three nucleotides are required to encode one amino acid in the genetic code. This unit of three nucleotides is called a codon and it corresponds to a specific amino acid.
