Question

A polypeptide is produced as dictated by mRNA, the number of bases on the mRNA that code for the polypeptide portion containing N-terminal amino acid and next 13 amino acid is
A) 26
B) 36
C) 42
D) 39

Answer 1

hey hi...


the correct answer is option C.




>>>One amino acid is coded by triplet bases so for 13 amino acids 13 × 3 = 39 bases are required and 3 bases are required for the formation of N terminal amino acid from methionine. Hence total 39 + 3 = 42 bases are required.<<<


hope this helps...

Answer 2

Answer:

C)42

Explanation:

One amino acid is coded by triplet bases

so for 13 amino acids 13 × 3 = 39 bases are required and

3 bases are required for the formation of N terminal amino acid from methionine.

Hence total 39 + 3 = 42 bases are required.

So, the correct answer is option C.
