Coding potential map, number of possible starts for gene

Incorrect / Question 3 0/ 2 pts Question 3 Looking at the coding potential map below, identify the number of possible different starts for the gene identified by the computer algorithm. 20400 6 7 14 Remember, the start sites are the small uptick lines. The computer algorithm draws a thin line in the center of the screen to indicate the longest possible gene. The first start codon will be at the beginning of the thin line. The stop codon would be the small down tick at the end of the line. The dark black line indicates the length of the gene that the computer algorithm thinks is best.

Explanation / Answer

Question no 3:

Start codons are represented by uptick marks and stop codons are represented by downtick marks

within the computer identified area in the coding potential map given there are 7 uptick marks, so the possible number of start codon is 7.

Question 4:

Longer the gene it is more likely to be functional. Computer algorithm has identified the longer possible gene in dark black line.

from the coding potential map the possible number of start codon is 4.
