Answer #1

Answer:-

Given :- translated exons of the LDER gene contain 2580 bases.(nucleotides )

As we know that 3 nucleotides (1 codon ) codes for 1 amino acid .

Therefore ;

number of amino acids codes by given exons = 2580 / 3

=860 amino acids.

Explanation:-

Exons and introns are a part of protein coding gene of a double stranded DNA before the RNA has been subject to post transcriptional modification i.e splicing.

After slicing exons stays in mature RNA whereas introns are removed .

Thus exons codes for amino acids

Codons :- sequence of 3 nucleotides (of DNA or RNA) that corresponds with specific amino acid.
