If there are 99 bases in an mRNA that codes for a protein with 33 amino acids and the base at position 30 undergo nonsense mutation, then what will be the length of polypeptide formed?
Options:
Answer:
C
Solution:
99 bases long mRNA chain can specify 33 amino acid, if nonsense mutation occurs and 30 position thancodon becomes stop codon, as a results the new mRNA can code for a protein with only 9 amino acid as thecodon becomes stop codon.
