Question

how many unique possible combinations of nucleotide bases are there to make the amino acids needed for protein synthesis?

24

64

60

20​

Answer 1

Answer:

I think this is 20...... Brainliest?

Explanation:

Each group of three nucleotides encodes one amino acid. Since there are 64 combinations of 4 nucleotides taken three at a time and only 20 amino acids, the code is degenerate (more than one codon per amino acid, in most cases). The adaptor molecule for translation is tRNA
