How many nucleotides are necessary to code for a polypeptide that is 200 amino acids long?

In the genetic code, a sequence of three nucleotides forms a codon, which codes for one amino acid. So for each amino acid, there are three nucleotides. Therefore, 600 nucleotides are needed to make 200 amino acids.

200x3= 600 nucleotides
Wiki User

A polypeptide found in the cytoplasm of a cell contains 12 amino acids How many nucleotides would be required in the mRNA for this polypeptide to be translated?
12 Because 1 nucleotide=1 Amino Acid.
Is A polypeptide is a sequence of proteins or amino acids?
Yes, a polypeptide is a sequence of amino acids.
The order of the amino acids in a polypeptide chain are determind by the order of nucleotides in the what?
The order of amino acids in a polypeptide chain (protein) is determined by the order of nucleotide triplets in the messenger RNA, or mRNA, chain that was transcribed from the DNA inside the nucleus for that specific protein.
What is the number of nucleotides found in a protein?
None! The reason is: there are no nucleotides in proteins. Nucleotides are the monomers (building blocks) of nucleic acids. The monomers of proteins are amino acids. The relationship between nucleotides and amino acids is the genetic code. In brief, the genetic code works like this: within a region of DNA that codes for a polypeptide chain (from which a protein will be made) a group of three adjacent nucleotides code for one amino acid.
Building block unit of a polypeptide chain?
Amino acids are the building block units of a polypeptide chain or a protein. These amino acids are linked together through peptide bonds.
How much nucleotides for 150 polypeptide?
If you means a polypeptide with 10 amino acids then 450 nucleotides at least .
Nucleotides are responsible for directing the addition of a particular amino acid to a polypeptide?
Essentially, yes. mRNA, which is made from nucleotides, have specific codons attached to them which codes for specific types of amino acids, which sort of guides the addition of amino acids to the polypeptide chain.

Give an example of polypeptide?
Protein.
Composed of long chains of amino acids?
Polypeptide bonds....polypeptide bonds equal proteins ;)
A long chain of amino acids?
polypeptides - The Dude That is Friends with THE DUDE
How many strings of amino acids dose a polypeptide consist of?
a polypeptide is ten or more amino acids bonded together
What is a linear stretch of DNA that specifies the sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide?
A linear stretch of DNA that specifies the sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide is called a gene. The primary function of DNA ligase is to seal new short stretches of nucleotides into one continuous strand.
