If the sequence of nucleotides along the mRNA molecule is AUGCCGGGAAGACCC, how many amino acids would be in the newly formed protein?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Explanation:

Each three-base pairs are called codons and code for an amino acid.

You would need a codon chart to find the amino acids.

AUG CCG GGA AGA CCC

AUG - Methionine (START CODON)

CCG - Proline

GGA - Glycine

AGA - Arginine

CCC - Proline

There would be 5 and counting amino acids in the protein. We don't know the exact number because there is no stop codon yet to tell us.
