If there are 64 possible codons in the genetic code and the amino acid is specified by each, as read in the 5’ to 3’ direction from the mRNA sequence, which ones are STOP codons?
The template strand (i.e.: the strand that is transcribed into RNA, which is usually represented “at the bottom”) of a segment of double helical DNA contains the sequence
(5′) TCCGCTCCATCG (3′). What is the base sequence of the mRNA that can be transcribed from this strand?
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?
