150 cordons in amino acid
34kurt2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

150 codons

Explanation:

Explanation:

Each codon codes for a one amino acid.

Each codon requires three nucleic bases.

This is on a single strand of DNA or RNA.

Since DNA is a double helix it would require 900 nucleic bases on the DNA but only 450 nucleic bases for the RNA as the RNA is a single strand copy of the DNA.

A single mistake in the 150 codons or 900 DNA bases can result in a defective protein. For example cycle cell anemia is caused by the trading of an A for T on one codon.

150 codons might not seem like much but the amount of information stored in 150 codons is huge. ( 150 codons is actually small for a protein.)
