How do the four different nucleotides found in DNA result in twenty different amino acids used to form proteins in the cell?

• The four nucleic acid bases combine in three letter sequences that each define an amino acid

• The four nucleic acid bases combine in two letter sequences that each define an amino acid

• The four nucleic acid bases are converted into tRNA molecules which can each attach to sixteen different amino acids different

• The four bases each specify one amino acid, and these then combine to form the other sixteen amino acids
