The genetic code is triplet. So how many reading frames are there for a given mRNA sequence?

The genetic code is triplet So how many reading frames are there for a given mRNA sequence?1 2 3 4

Solution

The mRNA is single-stranded and therefore only contains three possible reading frames, of which only one is translated. The codons of the mRNA reading frame are translated in the 5\'3\' direction into amino acids by a ribosome to produce a polypeptide chain.So, the answer will be 3.
