The genetic code is directly related to polypeptides and proteins in the sense that genes are decoded to synthesize proteins.

What is the genetic code?

Genetic code is the set of rules by which the sequence of bases in DNA are translated into the amino acid sequence of proteins.

The genetic code is unique for living organisms and is used to synthesize the proteins that is responsible for various activities in living organisms.

The genes in the genetic code are first transcribed into mRNA, which is then translated into proteins (polypeptides).

How many water molecules are needed to degrade a protein that contains 250 amino acids?

alex41 [277]

Answer:

125 molecules

Explanation:

Between two amino acids , one water molecule is eliminated and a peptide bond is formed. When 250 amino acids are joined to form a polypeptide , 125 molecules of water will be removed.

That is, 250/2=125
