10. How many amino acids will result from the translation of the mRNA sequence AUG-CUG-GAG-CUC-UAG?

Respuesta :

Answer: 4 amino acids

Explanation: In the given sequence, AUG codes for Methionine (the start codon), CUG codes for Leucine, GAG codes for Glutamic acid, CUC codes for Leucine, and UAG is the stop codon. Because the stop codon does not count as an amino acid in the translation, the translation results in a peptide of 4 amino acids before termination.
