The nucleotide sequence would have to have 900 nucleotides in order to code for a protein of 300 amino acids. When translating RNA into proteins, RNA is read 3 bases at a time. Each group of 3 bases is a codon, and each codon codes for an amino acid. When read, the proper amino acid is added to a growing chain of amino acids, which will be folded to become a protein.
Therefore, 300 amino acids * 3 nucleotides per amino acid = 900 nucleotides.
Answer:
the answer should be b ot ccc
Edit
Viruses reproduce within the living cells of the host and use the cellular machinery to synthesize their own genome and other components. To gain entry into cells, they have developed a variety of mechanisms to introduce their genes and proteins into host cells.
