Detailed explanation-1: -This goes on and a chain of amino acids is formed i.e. protein.-Three nucleotide bases make up a single codon. Each codon represents a single amino acid. Therefore, nine nucleotide bases are required to code for three amino acids.
Detailed explanation-2: -A codon is a DNA or RNA sequence of three nucleotides (a trinucleotide) that forms a unit of genomic information encoding a particular amino acid or signaling the termination of protein synthesis (stop signals).
Detailed explanation-3: -The correct answer is 300 nucleotides. The nucleotide bases adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T) in various combinations create the genetic makeup of an organism. The combination of these bases is responsible for genetic expression.
Detailed explanation-4: -The three-letter nature of codons means that the four nucleotides found in mRNA-A, U, G, and C-can produce a total of 64 different combinations.
