Which of the following mRNA can be transcripted as
Options
- AAUG.UGA.UUU
- BUAA.UAV.UGG
- CUAG.UGA.UUV
- DUGA.UUV.UGG
Correct answer
A. AUG.UGA.UUU
Step-by-step solution
Among the given options, only first one can be transcripted because it possesses an initiation codon-AUG which codes for methionine. Rest of the mRNA sequences start with termination codons, i.e. UAA (Ochre), UAG (Amber) and UGA (Opal). Therefore, these cannot be transcripted.
