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

See below

Explanation:

There are several reasons that genetic variation occurs. Some of them are as follows: mutation, random fertilization, recombination event during meiosis etc. The way in which this variation in genetics is distributed is in a continuous way. In case of the human species, it is reported that 85% of all variation is within a certain population, while the remaining 15% of genetic variation is between populations.
