How many nucleotides are needed to identify one amino acid? A) How many RNA nucleotides code for an amino acid? B) How are the amino acids connected to make proteins? How many amino acids were coded for the mRNA? How many nucleotides would be expected for a gene coding for a protein ...
Which base in an anticodon will pair with the base adenine in a codon? Why do five nucleotides make up a codon? How do we calculate the possible amino acids from nucleotides? How many tRNA types are in a human cell? If each nucleotide codes for a specific amino acid, how many different...
A critical feature of DNA is the ability of the nucleotides to make specific pairs: . Adenine pairs with Thymine and Cytosine pairs with Guanine. We say A is complementary to T (and U) and C is complementary to G The double helical structure of DNA, is due largely to hydrogen bonding b...
A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides, which codes for one amino acid. Living things read codons and use the genetic code to create proteins.Understanding the Genetic Code The genetic code is the code found in mRNA that gives instructions for how to make our proteins. Proteins are ...
coli cell. Many of the genes are duplicates. You may remember from a previous section that enzymes are formed from 20 different amino acids strung together in a specific order. Therefore the question is this: How do you get from DNA, made up of only four nucleotides, to an enzyme ...

When cleaving outside the recognition sequence, the cut site is often given by the notation (N)x where X is the number of unspecified nucleotides between the 3´ end of the recognition sequence for that strand and the cut site. If only a single strand is given followed by (X/Y), X...
making a protein. In DNA, each protein is encoded by agene(a specific sequence of DNA nucleotides that specify how a single protein is to be made). Specifically, the order of nucleotides within a gene specifies the order and types of amino acids that must be put together to make a ...
Let’s now put the abstract calculations into action and study the energy budget of a specific molecule: a prominent neural protein implicated in synaptic plasticity,CaMKIIα.CaMKIIαproteins contain 478 amino acids, its transcripts have ~4900 nucleotides99, and an average dendritic spine contains ar...
How many DNA molecules make up an unreplicated chromosome? What process occurs after DNA replication? How many nucleotides are in a human chromosome? What enzyme fixes mistakes in DNA replication? What enzyme unzips the DNA double helix?
