Question 13 (1 point)

Consider an mRNA molecule with the following coding sequence: 5’-AUGUUUCCGUGA-3’. This mRNA will be translated into a protein of what length? (The start codon is underlined.)

Question 13 options:

1 amino acid in length

2 amino acids in length

3 amino acids in length

4 amino acids in length

Question 16 (1 point)

Consider a mature mRNA and the protein encoded by it. How would their molecular weights compare to each other?

Question 16 options:

Their molecular weights are about the same

The molecular weight of the mRNA is greater

The molecular weight of the protein is greater

It could go either way depending on the sequence

Question 20 (1 point)

A missense mutation

Question 20 options:

causes an amino acid substitution

creates a stop codon

causes a frameshift

prevents initiation of translation

prevents termination of translation

1 amino acid in length

2 amino acids in length

3 amino acids in length

4 amino acids in length

Explanation / Answer

13) 3 amino acids in length.

Met-phe-pro

16). The molecular weight of the mRNA is greater

20)causes an amino acid substitution .

a missense mutation is a point mutation in which a single nucleotide change results in a codon that codes for a different amino acid
