The answer is 72 nucleotides. This is calculated by multiplying 24 by 3. This is because we know that an amino acid is coded through codons. Codons are sequences of 3 nucleotides that either code for a particular nucleotide, of the 23 total nucleotides, or is a stop or start codon (that stops or initiates translation respectively)
