Principle of Inheritance and VariationHard
Question
What would happen if in a gen encoding a polypeptide of 50 amino acids, 25th codon (UAU) is mutated to UAA?
Options
A.A polypeptide of 49 amino acids will be forment
B.A polypeptide of 25 amino acids will be forment
C.A polypeptide of 24 amino acids will be forment
D.Two polypeptide of 24 and 25 amino will be forment
Solution
UAA is the ′stop′ codon; hence, polypeptide chain will not grow after 24th amino acid in the absence of new initiating codon rest of codons will not be able to translate.
