Solve: Suppose an mRNA strand in the cytoplasm has 15
nucleotides. How many amino acids would be in the resulting
protein chain? Explain how you got this number. NO LINKS NO LINKS !!!

Respuesta :

Answer:

(Sorry messed up the first time and didnt put an explanation) Four

Explanation:

It is four because there are three nucleotides in a set to make an amino acid. This would make 15 divided by 3, which is 5, but the last one is the code for stop (that is, to tell when a new chain for protiens should start), and that doesn't count as an amino acid.
