How do nucleotides of mRNA chains encode information for the formation of the amino acids sequences of a protein?
There are only four types of nitrogen-containing bases that can compose RNA nucleotides: adenine (A), uracil (U), guanine (G) and cytosine (C). Amino acids however are 20 different ones. Considering only one nucleotide (a 1:1 coding) it would be impossible to codify all amino acids.
Considering two nucleotides there would be an arrangement of 4 elements, 2 x 2, resulting in a total of only 16 possible codifier units (4 x 4). Nature may know combinatory analysis since it makes a genetic code by arrangement of the 4 RNA bases, 3 x 3, providing 64 different triplets (4 x 4 x 4).
So each triplet of nitrogen-containing bases of RNA codifies one amino acid of a protein. As these triplets appear in sequence in the RNA molecule, sequential amino acids codified by them are bound together to make polypeptide chains. For example, a UUU sequence codifies the amino acid phenylalanine, as well the UUC sequence; the ACU, ACC, ACA and ACG sequences codify the amino acid threonine; and so on for all possible tripletsequences and all other amino acids.

A protein has a sequence of 100amino acids, how many nucleotides does the mRNA strand that encodes it have? (choose the best answer) a.400 b.100 c.200 d.300
Why are nucleotides a good molecule to make DNA out of, while amino acids are good for making proteins? A good answer will include: -how nucleotides compare to amino acids in terms of diversity of shape and feel -how the structure and funciton of DNA compares to the structure and function of proteins -what is the 'job' of DNA? why are the nucleotides good for allowing DNA to carry out its functions? what is the job of a protein? how...
How are the correct amino acids brought to the rib... How are the corect amino acids brought to the ribosomes for protein synthesis? The amino acids are synthesized directly at the ribosomes by the hydrolysis of dietary protein. OAmino acids are carried in the interior of the DNA double helix, then carried to the ribosomes. OAcetyl-CoA carries the amino acids that match the codon on DNA. O Transfer RNA molecules, whose anticodon loop contains the complementary sequence of an MRNA...
