What would be the number of amino acids coded by given mRNA nucleotide sequence?
AUGCUGAGGUAAUGA
AUGCUGAGGUAAUGA
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
3
Option C (4) is correct because the mRNA sequence is read in codons (groups of three nucleotides), and the sequence AUGCUGAGGUAAUGA has four codons before the stop codon (UAA, UGA, or UAG). AUG-CUG-AGG-UAA-UGA. The stop codon is UAA, so there are 3 codons that code for amino acids.
