Question

The DNA sequence ATCAGCGCTGGC is part of a gene. How many amino acids are coded for by this message?

Answer 1

A code is sequence of three nitrogenous bases so each code will have one amino acids
there fore these will encode 4 amino acids

Answer 2

Answer:

Four amino acids can be coded for by this message.

Explanation:

• The genetic code, which is the arrangement of nucleotides in DNA and RNA and dictates the order of amino acids in proteins.
• The four nucleotides that make up RNA are adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and uracil (U).
• The codon is a group of three contiguous nucleotides that codes for an amino acid.
• As an instance, the codon AUG specifies the amino acid methionine.
• There are 64 potential codons, three of which signal the completion of a protein but do not code for amino acids.
• The 20 amino acids that go into making proteins are specified by the remaining 61 codons.
• Every mRNA begins with the AUG codon, which not only codes for the amino acid methionine but also signals the beginning of a protein.
• The only two amino acids that are only coded for by a single codon are methionine and tryptophan (AUG and UGG, respectively).
