Chapter 23, Problem 84A
Solution

Interpretation : The number of RNA bases required to code for a protein that contains 577 amino acids is to be identified.

Concept Introduction : Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is another type of nucleic acid. Adenine, cytosine, guanine, and uracil are components of RNA. Since there are no such hydrogen bonds formed between the bases of RNA, it is typically single-stranded.

The number of RNA bases is 1731 .

There are three bases in RNA that codes for one amino acid in a peptide chain.

The number of bases is given as:

  No.ofbases= 3×No.ofaminoacid

For 577 amino acids, the number of bases is given as:

  No.ofbases= 3×No.ofaminoacid=3×577=1731
