How to convert Base Pair to Codon (bp to codon)
To convert Base Pair to Codon, multiply by 0.33333333333333. The formula is Base Pair × 0.33333333333333 = Codon. See the example below.
1 Base Pair = 1 × 0.33333333333333 = 0.33333333333333 Codons
Base pair is a unit of measurement for DNA length. DNA stands for double-stranded nucleic acids which consists of two nucleobases bound to each other by hydrogen bonds. These nucleobases form the building blocks of the DNA double helix and also contribute to the folded structure of both DNA and RNA. The symbol for Base Pair is bp.
Codon is a unit of measurement for DNA length. Codons are part of genetic material and genetic code translates the information encoded within genetic material into proteins. The symbol for Codon is codon.
