A DNA sequence that is 15 nucleotides long would normally give rise to a polypeptide sequence that would be 5 amino acids long. This is assuming that all the nucleotides in the DNA sequences are strictly coded to form only sense codons and not a single nonsense codon, also called termination codon
A sense codon is a set of three nucleotides also called a triplet, that codes for a particular amino acid. A DNA sequence of 15 nucleotides has 5 codons.
A nonsense or termination codon is one that does not code for any amino acid. There are three nonsense codons found on mRNA, and these are UAA, UAG and UGA. So if the DNA sequence has one of these, then the amino acids in the polypeptide chain will be 4 in number
Renewable resources can be replenished, such as water. Non-renewable resources are limited, like oil. A sustainable option is one that can be reused without affecting the environment.
