Question

The directions for each amino acid in a polypeptide are indicated by a codon that consists of ________ nucleotide(s) in an RNA molecule.

Answer 1

Answer:

3 nucleotides in an RNA molecule.

Explanation:

Protein synthesis in the cell produced by RIBOSOMES requires a lot of energy and it's has the highest mass in living organisms. Protein synthesis involve the process where Messenger RNA (MRNA) message is converted to a polypeptide product. The transcription in the cell produced messenger RNA. The translation of mRNA template converts nucleotide-based genetic information into a protein product. The protein sequences contain about 20 Ami o acids and each amino acids is defined by three nucleotides sequence which is called triplet codon. The relationship between nucleotides codon And amino acids is called genetic code
