Biologically functional gene coding for tyrosine tRNA of E.coil, synthesized by Khorana in 1979, had
The correct option is D 207 nucleotide pairs
H. G. Khorana and co-workers synthesized the gene for E.coli tyrosine tRNA precursor. The tyrosine tRNA precursor has 126 nucleotides. A complete sequence of dsDNA coding for tyrosine tRNA precursor of E. coli was synthesized. Twenty six small oligonucleotide DNA segments that produced a complete tRNA precursor were synthesized. These oligonucleotides were then arranged into six dsDNA segments. Each ds DNA segment had single stranded ends to facilitate their joining to produce complete gene of 126 base pairs for tyrosine tRNA precursor of E. coli. He then synthesized biologically functional gene coding for tyrosine t-RNA of E.coil. It was 207 base pairs long with 51 bp long promoter region, a 126 bp long precursor region of tRNA, a 25 bp long DNA in which 16 base pairs contained restriction site for EcoRI. Option D is the correct answer.
