Answer:

9 amino acids

Explanation:

A segment of a gene that has 27 nucleotides will code for<u> 9 amino acids.</u>

<em>Each codon on the gene potentially represents an amino acid and a codon is made up of 3 nucleotides each. Hence, in order to find out the total number of amino acids that a gene segment with 27 nucleotides can code for, the number of nucleotides should be divided by 3.</em>

    number of amino acids = number of nucleotides/3

                     27/3 = 9 codons/amino acids

<span>Okay, so we have one homozygous, the prefix "homo" means "same" and we know that the male's genotype is dominate, so with the prefix "same" or "homo" we know the male's genotype must be EE, and TT. We also know that the female's genotype is heterozygous, and knowing that "hetero" means opposite, we know that she has the two opposite types of genes Ee and Tt
