Question

A gene is made up of 372. If all the bases play a role in coding for amino acids, how many

codons make up the gene?


A. 124 codons
B. 186 codons
C. 774 codons
D. 1116 codons

Answer 1

One codon is made up of 3 bases. We have the number of bases.

number of codons=number of bases/3

#codons=372/3=124 codons
