6. a) Calculate whether a genetic code that was based on a doublet codon (two bases per codon) with five genetic bases could code for the amino acids found in life on Earth today.
b) As in part (a) but using a genetic code with three bases and a triplet codon.
Homework Answers
6) a) if there are only 2 bases per codon and there are five different types of nucleotides then the total number of the codon is 5^2, that is permutation with repetition is n^r, n is a number of objects and r is how many we are taking at a time so here 5^2=25.
From this information, we can not calculate the number of amino acids it can code.
b) there are five nucleotides and now codon has 3 bases 5^3= 125 that is 125 codons are possible.

5. Suppose we discovered a form of life like our own which utilized 20 amino acids, but had 6 nitrogeneous bases instead of the 4 our life uses. What would be the minimum length (i.e., number of base-pairs) of a codon which could represent all 20 currently used amino acids? 6. What evidence exists to support the idea that an ancestor of all present-day living organisms had a simpler genetic code in which the length of a codon was 2...

The genetic code is considered degenerate because most amino acids are encoded by at least two different codons. Some researchers have hypothesized that during evolution the genetic code has been optimized for its intended use in different organisms. Reseachers can study this by examining the relationship between the frequency with which an amino acid appears in all the proteins in an organism and the total number of codons for an amino acid. An optimized organism would use amino acids in...
