Chapter 19, Problem 87E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Calculate the number of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) base pairs required to code for the insulin protein containing
Concept introduction:
A protein molecule is made up of a number of amino acids.
Each amino acid is manufactured according to a codon which is triplet of 3 nitrogenous bases
There are only 4 bases in nature.
A sequence of 3 bases makes one codon
one codon is required to code one amino acid.
