14 Counting rules
- Number of nucleotides in the coding region of mRNA = 3 × (number of amino acids) (+3 for the stop codon, if it is counted).
- Number of base pairs in the gene's coding region = 3 × number of amino acids (as the book's simple exercises assume).
- Number of different codons = 4³ = 64.
