Answer: Four amino acids.
Explanation:
RNA (ribonucleic acid) and DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) are polymers made up of long chains of nucleotides. Thus, a nucleotide is the basic building block of nucleic acids and consists of a sugar molecule (ribose in RNA or deoxyribose in DNA) linked to a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base. <u>The nitrogenous bases can be Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C), Guanine (G) or Uracil (U) replacing T in RNA</u>. DNA is the molecule that stores the genetic information to synthesize polypeptides or proteins (set of amino acids). When proteins need to be created, DNA is transcribed into RNA and this RNA is translated in ribosomes to create polypeptides.
Complementarity is the ability to combine with their complement. A and T (or U) are complementary, while C and G are complementary to each other. Complementarity is the principle of replication and transcription, because it is a propery of both DNA and RNA sequences. Their the nucleotide bases at each position of the sequences are complementary, allowing cells to copy information.
Nucleotides in RNA are grouped into codons, which consist of groups of 3 nucleotides where each codon codes for an amino acid. Therefore, <u>the sequence of bases in nucleic acids determines which protein will be synthesized</u>. Protein synthesis begins with a start codon (AUG, which codes for the amino acid methionine) and ends with a stop codon (UGA, UAG and UAA). So, if there are 15 nucleotides, there are 15 bases. Since they are grouped in groups of 3, we will have a polypeptide of 4 amino acids.
<u>3 nucleotides form a codon, so 12 nucleotides form 4 codons giving 4 amino acids. The last codon, is formed by the last 3 nucleotides and form the stop codon that stop protein synthesis</u>.

<span>microorganisms that are similar to bacteria in size and simplicity of structure but radically different in molecular organization. They are now believed to constitute an ancient intermediate group between the bacteria and eukaryotes.
</span>FULL ANSWER<span>Archaebacteria, or archaeans, are single-celled organisms. Although they were first classified with bacteria, they have since earned their own category. While they have a simple structure much like bacteria, there are many differences. They have a unique type of rRNA that sets them apart from their fellow prokaryotes. Furthermore, they do not cause sickness in people.Archaebacteria are considered extremophiles because they live in a variety of harsh environments and can tolerate extreme conditions such as, acidity and salinity. They are divided into three main groups: crenarchaeota, euryarchaeota and korarchaeota.Crenarchaeota consist of hyperthermophiles and thermoacidophiles that thrive in very hot, cold or acidic environments. Euryarchaeota consist of halophiels and methanogens that thrive in salty and oxygen-free environments. For example, euyarchaeota often live inside in the guts of animals. Compared to other the other groups of archaebacteria, less is known about korarchaeota. Scientists do konw that they are thermophilic and live in hot springs.</span>
