Question

What would happen if in a gene encoding a polypeptide of 50 amino acids, the 25th codon UAU is mutated to UAA?
1 point
(a) A polypeptide of 49 amino acids will be formed
(b) A polypeptide of 25 amino acids will be formed
(c) A polypeptide of 24 amino acids will be formed
(d) Two polypeptide of 24 and 25 amino acids will be formed​

Answer 1

Answer:

They do not specify any amino acids, hence called as nonsense codons or stop codon. UAA is a stop codon. So, if in a gene encoding a polypeptide to 50 amino acid, 25th (UAC) is mutated to UAA, then the process will terminate here and a polypeptide of 24 amino acids will be formed.

Answer 2

Answer:

question is about to says the number is wrong
