Hi.
00:01
So the question is if a bacterial protein is 3 ,300 amino acid long, how many nucleotide pair long is the gene sequence that code for it? see, we know that each amino acid residue in a polypeptide chain was encoded by a codone.
00:20
And so, and one codon is made up of three nucleotides.
00:25
So i have written here as well, one amino acid is encoded by one codone.
00:30
One codone has three nucleotide.
00:32
This means one amino acid is encoded by three nucleotides.
00:37
So if a protein has 3 ,300 amino acid, okay, i'll write it again.
00:46
If a protein has 3 ,300 amino acid, that means it contains 3 ,300 pothones and one codone contain three nucleotides.
01:00
So we will multiply it by 3 and we will get 9 ,900 nucleotides.
01:06
So a bacterial protein that has 3 ,300 amino acid will have the gene that will contain a 9 ,900 nucleotide...
