Question

1. Let's step through the process of seeing how many codons or amino acids are possible for 5 bases with increasing codon length. Let's call the new base quartine, so we have the bases adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine, and quartine. How many different codons (amino acids) could we specify with these 5 bases if only one base was needed to specify a codon (codon ength of 1 base)? A. 3. Codons are always read in sets of three. B. 22. There are 22 amino acids. C. 5. One for each base. D. None. Without three bases in a codon, there can't be any codons.

Explanation / Answer

D.

The nucleotide triplet that encodes an amino acid is called a codon. Group of 3 nucleotide bases encodes for 1 amino acid.
