-explain how the 20 amino acids found in proteins are formed by only 4 nucleotide bases Triplet nucleotide codons translate to amino acids. Since there are 4 types of nucleotides that can be arranged in combinations of 3, there are 4^3 = 64 possible different codons. Each codon codes for a specific amino acid, and as there are only 20 amino acid, while each codon itself can only specify one amino acid. After studying geologic maps of Cali, a researcher hypothesizes that the bedrock in a ...
