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.You need to login to perform this action.
