Detailed explanation-1: -So hence the answer to the question is 10 amino acids in turn can be generated using these 30 nucleotide gene sequence it.
Detailed explanation-2: -The correct answer is (c): three. The mRNA templates contain the code for proteins as nucleotide triplets called codons.
Detailed explanation-3: -Thirty nucleotides are there in an mRNA. One codon consist of three nucleotides and one codon can code one amino acid but one amino acid can be coded by more than one codon. Therefore maximum 10 amino acids can be coded by 10 codon or 30 nucleotides if each codon codes a different amino acid.
Detailed explanation-4: -Three is the minimum number of nucleotides per codon needed to encode 20 amino acids.
Detailed explanation-5: -Answer and Explanation: In order for a protein with 100 amino acids to be produced, the messenger RNA must at least be 303 nucleotides in length.
