Question

How would the artificial mRNA 5'..GUGUGUGU'.. code? (a). two-base, not overlapping (b). two-base, overlapping (c). three-base, not overlapping d. three-base, overlapping e. four-base, not overlapping 3' be read according to each of the following models for the genetic

Answer 1

The sequence given is:

5'....GUGUGUGU...3'

a. The two base, not overlapping model would be as follows:

GU GU GU GU

b. The two base overlapping model would be as follows:

GU UG GU UG GU UG GU UG

c. The three base non-overlapping model would be as follows:

GUG UGU GU

d. The three base overlapping model would be as follows:

GUG UGU GUG UGU GUG UGU GU

e. The four base non-overlapping model would be as follows:

GUGU GUGU
