A) a polypeptide of 124 amino acid is formed
B) a polypeptide of 25 amino acid is formed
C) a polypeptide of 24 amino acid is formed
D) any of the above can be possible
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
The codon UAA function as stop or termination codon. It does not code for any amino acid and therefore, called nonsense codon. Hence, the polypeptide synthesis terminated and a polypeptide of 24 amino acids is formed. Polypeptide chain of 124 amino acids is formed only when the 125th codon works as stop codon.
