Question

Which statements are true for a protein whose genetic sequence has 11 codons?

Answer 1

Answer:2.)One start codon and one stop codon are used for its synthesis.

3.)The piece of genetic code used for its production contains 11 codons.

Explanation: A codon is a nucleotide sequence on the mRNA that is made up of three nucleotides molecules. A codon is a nucleotide sequence that codes for a specific amino acid. Every amino acid is coded for by at least one codon. Some amino acids are coded for by more than one codon.

During protein synthesis, every protein is synthesized using one start codon and one stop codon. A start codon signals the beginning of translation while the stop codon signals the end of translation. The start codon codes for methionine while the stop codon codes for no amino acid. Therefore, a protein whose genetic sequence has 11 codons is synthesized using a piece of genetic code containing 11 codons.
