Question

a section of messenger rna (mrna) is made of 33 nucleotides. with how many amino acids does this section correspond?
1
3
11
33
the number cannot be determined from the information given.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the genetic code rule

Each amino acid is coded by a 3-nucleotide codon.

Step2: Calculate the number of amino acids

Number of amino acids = $\frac{\text{Number of nucleotides}}{3}$ = $\frac{33}{11}$ = 11.

Answer:

11
