You encounter an extraterrestrial organism that makes proteinsconsisting of a combination of 100 types of amino acids. You alsodiscover that it only uses a combination of 2 possible nucleotides(P and W) in its DNA and RNA. If other aspects of this creature’sbiology are more like those of terrestrial organisms, what would bethe minimal length of codons needed to code forall 100 types of amino acids?
Question 7 options:
| 100 nucleotides |
| 8 nucleotides |
| 50 nucleotides |
| 7 nucleotides |
| 6 nucleotides |
