If the entire mRNA sequence for a polypeptide was AUGUACUCGCGACCGUAA, how many amino acids does the polypeptide have

Biology
1 answer:
DaniilM [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

5 amino acids

Explanation:

The process of translation involves synthesizing a sequence of amino acids from a mRNA template. The mRNA molecule is read in a group of three nucleotides called CODONS. A codon specifies or codes for an amino acid.

In the question, a mRNA sequence was given as follows: AUGUACUCGCGACCGUAA. From this sequence comprising of 6 codons, 5 possible amino acids will be contained in the polypeptide encoded by this mRNA molecule as the last codon (UAA) is a STOP codon. The following are the codons in the mRNA sequence and their respective amino acids:

*AUG- methionine (met)

*UAC - tyrosine (Tyr)

*UCG - Serine (Ser)

*CGA - Arginine (Arg)

*CCG - Proline (Pro)

*UAA - Stop

<span>C. Nucleic Acids

</span>
<span>DNA and RNA both have the following commonality:

<span>They contain Nitrogen bases A,C, and G. Their Subunits are Nucleotides and the Nucleotide components are sugar, base, phospate. Both also have chainlike molecules.<span> </span></span>
The genetic information they carry in their nucleic acids (DNA or RNA) is limited for production of their own viral components or "body parts"  and these parts are  capsid, nucleic acids and envelope (for enveloped viruses).
