Answer: The maximum number of amino acids that could be coded is 2
Explanation:
- A codon in this microorganism is 2 bases instead of 3 bases .
- In order to encode a protein a sequence requires a start and stop codon
- If you assume no start codon: then only 2 bases would make up the stop codon.
- This leaves 4 bases which is 2 codons. This would encode 2 amino acids.
- If you assume a start and stop codon, then each codon would be allocated 2 base pairs each = 4 base pairs
- This only leaves 2 base pairs, a single codon which would only code for 1 amino acid
There is quite a lot, but the fact that both mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own circular DNAis what I would call "key" evidence. That is, these organelles are not "manufactured" by the cell (i.e., there are no "genes for mitochondria" in eukaryote genomes): like their ancestral bacteria, they reproduce by binary fission.
