Question

A repeating copolymer is made using the trinucleotide UGC. How many different codons are represented in this synthetic RNA?

A) 2: UGC and CGU

B) 3: UUU, GGG, CCC

C) 1: UGC

D) 3: UGC, GCU, CUG

E) 3: UGC, CGU, GUC

Answer 1

D) 3:UCG, GCU,CUG

Explanation---

Given -- A repeated copolymer is made by using the trinucleotid UGC .

After repeated arrangement of trinucleotide UGC results in following synthetic RNA strand

showing three different codons formed due repeated arrangement of UGC.

U-G-C-U-G-C-U-G-C-U-G-C-U-G-C-U-G-C----
