Question

During translation, what sets up the open reading frame in mRNA? What will it correspond to in DNA?

Answer 1

Answer:

During the process of translation, the codon UAC sets up the open  reading frame in the mRNA (messenger Ribonucleic acid). The codon UAC corresponds to ATG in the DNA. It codes for the amino acid methionine.

Explanation:

The determination of the open reading frame is important in the process of translation and protein formation. The start and stop codons determine the open reading frame. In DNA (deoxyribonucleic Acid), there are typically six reading frames. The correct frame is determined and the translation is started.

The ATG codon in the DNA sets the reading frame in most of the eukaryotes. Different frames can be started by beginning with either 'A', 'T', or 'G'.
