Question

An mRNA has the sequence of:

5' ACCGAUGUUGCCAGGUACCUUUCAUGGAUGACCCGAUAGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 3'

Including the initial Met, how many amino acid codons will be translated. Use the genetic code table for guidance. Type only the number of amino acids to be translated, not the amino acids themselves.

UUU Phenylalanine UC U UCC UCA UAC Tyrosine (Tyr) UAA Stop codon UAG Stop codon UUC (Phe) Serine (Ser) GUG Leucine (Leu) 11386 UCG CUU CUC CUA CUG CA U CAC Histidine(His) CC U Leucine (Leu) Proline (Pro) CCA CC G AI Glutamine (Gln) CAG A UU ACU A UC Isoleucine (le) ACC A A U Asparagine A UA Threonine (Thr) AAC (Asn) Methionine (Met): A CA ALvsine (Lvs)

Explanation / Answer

The given mRNA has the following sequence of:

5' ACCGAUGUUGCCAGGUACCUUUCAUGGAUGACCCGAUAGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 3'

The number of amino acids that will be translated are 13, upon including the initial start codon of AUG for methionine.
