Question

Determine the number of proteins composed of 100 Amino acid...

The solution read: total proteins composed of 100 nucleotides is equal to 20100

The solution should read total proteins composed of 100 Amino acids is equal to 20100

I did have someone answer me earlier about how to obtain the solution, however, I just believe there is a typo is the solution text. We are not looking for nucleotides, we are looking for Amino acids. So it should read total proteins composed of 100 amino acids is equal to 20100. 

If we were looking for nucleotides it would read 4100
