A) A polypeptide of 49 amino acids will be formed
B) A polypeptide of 25 amino acids will be formed
C) A polypeptide of 24 amino acids will be formed
D) Two polypeptides of 24 and 25 amino acids will be formed
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
If in a gene encoding a polypeptide of 50 amino acids. \[\text{2}{{\text{5}}^{\text{th}}}\]codon (UAU) is mutated to UAA. A polypeptide of 24 amino acids will be formed. Since, UAA is a termination codon, no further polypeptide will be formed.
