Question

if there r 999 bases in an RNA that codes for a protein with 333 aminoacids ,and the base at position 901 is deleted such that the length of RNA becomes 998 bases,how many codons will be altered? options r 11 33. 333. and 1...pls ans frns

Answer 1

RNA comprises of 999 bases that provide encoding for more than 300 amino acids.

There are three bases playing an important role in the formation of one codon.

A single codon is known to refer a single amino acid.

In short to encode 333 amino acids, similar numbers of codons are used.

Answer 2

One codon codes comprise of three bases so if one base is deleted at 901 position cause frame shift mutation which will alter 33 codons.
