Ket [755]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

360 nucleotides

Explanation:

Each amino acid corresponds to a specific codon, a sequence of three DNA or RNA nucleotides.

If there are 120 amino acids and a sequence of three nucleotides corresponds to one amino acid, then 120 × 3 = 360 nucleotides.

Hope that helps.

In labrador retrievers, a common breed of dog, black coat is dominant to chocolate, normal vision is dominant to progressive ret
marshall27 [118]
The data given regarding the alleles are as follows
black(B)-dominant , chocolate(b) - recessive
normal vision - dominant, progressive retinal atrophy - recessive 
normal hip joint - dominant, hip dysplasia - recessive 

lets first consider one trait 
parents are heterozygous 
when crossed            Bb         x          Bb
offspring               BB      Bb     Bb     bb
                             --------black-----  chocolate
the probability of dogs being black - 3/4
                           dogs being chocolate - 1/4
likewise for the other two traits 
probability of normal vision - 3/4 and retinal atrophy - 1/4
probability of normal hip joint - 3/4 and hip dysplasia - 1/4

we have to calculate the probability of 1st pup being born is
chocolate - 1/4 
normal vision - 3/4
normal hip - 3/4
since all these traits should be acquired the probability of having the above three traits is calculated by getting the product of individual probabilities 
therefore answer is 1/4 x 3/4 x 3/4
  probability              = 9/64
