Question

$3\text{/}cTACGTCTAGCATATT5\text{/}c$ is a sequence from the template strand of a gene. How many amino acids long protein will be synthesized if this gene expresses?

• A. $4$
• B. $5$
• C. $6$
• D. $12$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $5$

Protein is the polypeptide chain of amino acids .Each amino acid is coded by three codons. Here, codons are sequence of nucleotides from a gene. This sequence given in question has 15 codons hence it will code and form long protein chain of five amino acids.

So the correct answer is '5' .
