Genetic variation can be caused by mutation (which can create entirely new alleles in a population), random mating, random fertilization, and recombination between homologous chromosomes during meiosis (which reshuffles alleles within an organism's offspring).

An RNA sequence includes 12 nitrogenous bases, AUGGUGCAUGUC. What is the maximum number of amino acids for which this sequence c
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

In the mRNA sequence AUGGUGCAUGUC the maximum number of amino acids that can be encoded is 4 (option A).

Explanation:

Messenger RNA (mRNA) has a sequence of nitrogenous bases produced by the transcription of a DNA strand. This sequence of bases is organized in triplets or codons —made up of 3 nitrogenous bases— that can encode an amino acid, or mark the beginning or end —STOP codon—of protein synthesis.

From the sequence:

AUGGUGCAUGUC

Four codons are obtained, each of which encodes a different amino acid:

<em>Codons:          AUG-GUG-CAU-GUC</em>

<em>Amino acids:  Met - Val - His - Val</em>

<em>Methionine Valine Histidina and Valine are the four amino acids encoded by the 12 nucleotide sequence of the mRNA.</em>
