I need help in Bio p1

[hashinigh]

Can someone help me with the following questions.i'm not so good at bio so pld don't my abt the silly questions i m asking.

Q1. A genetic engineering experiment a piece of double-stranded DNA containing 6000 nucleotides
coding for a specific polypeptide is transcribed and translated.
What is the total number of amino acids in this polypeptide?

A 500 B 1000 C 2000 D 3000
(ans is B but how??)

In this paper Q4, Q24, Q30 and Q40 (ans are C,B,B and D respectively.
THANKS ALOT.MAY ALLAH BLESS U......

k
u knw dat each amino acid is coded with 3 bases ( each nucleotide has one base)
so 6000 nucleotides given hence divide 6000 by 3 which is 2000.
so 2000 divide by 2 will gv da total no of amino acids in each polypeptide chain (remember DNA is a double strand)
Ans is 1000 which is B.
Hope u understand..
