1. 1 codon = 1 amino acid = 3 nucleotides
146 amino acids = 3 × 146 = 438 nucleotides
2. One amino acid will be encoded by one tRNA. So, the number of tRNA required will be equal to the number of amino acids.
So, 146 tRNA will be required.
Note -
Messenger RNA carries the codon. Transfer RNA carries the anticodon. Both of them are complementary to each other. They both interact with each other during translation and this leads to the addition of one amino acid in the growing peptide chain.
