    There will be 68 Amino Acids in the Protein produced. In translation, the RNA is read in groups of 3 bases. These three bases are called codons, and the complimentary bases are called anti-codons. Therefore, if we have 204 bases, then 204/3 bases in a codon = 68 codons. Each codon codes for an Amino Acid, so 68 codons results in 68 Amino Acids in the resulting protein.
