A fragment of the i-RNA molecule consists of 87 nucleotides. Determine the number of nucleotides of the double strand of DNA, the number of triplets of the template DNA strand and the number of nucleotides in the anticodons of all t-RNAs that are involved in protein synthesis. Explain the answer

1) the double strand of DNA contains 87 x 2 = 174 nucleotides, since the DNA molecule consists of two strands;
2) the template DNA strand contains 87: 3 = 29 triplets, since the triplet contains three nucleotides;
3) the anticodons of all t-RNA contain 87 nucleotides.
