What is the total size of the mature i.e. fully processed mRNA in nucleotides?How many amino acids would the encoded protein be? Assume that the N- terminal Met encoded by the AUG start codon, is NOT cleaved from the protein? Part BA hypothetical mouse gene Minnie (Min) has the following gene structure:A5',3'BTranscription startsite5' X₁5'UTR202 105AUG312Transcription termination62UAG280site3'UTR3'5'(A) 24 3′The top diagram (A) shows the gene structure of the Minnie gene and the lowerpanel (B) shows the mature mRNA generated from that gene by transcription andsplicing, which is exported to the cytoplasm for translation.In panel A the size of the exons (black) and introns (grey) are given in basepairs.The location of the transcription start site and transcription termination site areindicated by the arrows.In panel B the 5' untranslated region (5'UTR) of the mRNA is 61 nucleotides(excluding the modified base X at the 5' end) and the 3' untranslated region(3′UTR) is 127 nucleotides: This includes a 24 nucleotide poly-A sequence addedpost-transcriptionally at the 3' end.NB: You can assume that the poly-A sequence is added to the 3′ end of the thirdexon i.e. as defined by the transcription termination site.
