Question

You have discovered a new gene in the human genome! You sequence the cDNA, and find the COS You determine that the lensthof the CDS is 650 nucleotides this includes the start codon and the stop codon). How many amino acids are present in the peptide that is translated from your sene HTML Ed BIVA-A-I EE 3 a XXE - EP 22 NV V VOTT12pt - Paragraph р 2 pts Question 3 wou need to add to your 100 microliter PCR to achieve anal concentration of 1X

Answer 1

1) One codon is 3 nucleotides long

one codon is turned into one amino acid from RNA

so 3 nucleotidees turn into one amino acid

The start codon is also translated.

So the number becomes 450 nucleotides / 3

Will give us the number of amino acids

450/3 =150,

150 -1 codon, because the stop codon does not add an amino acid

Therefore 149 amino acids long.
