Part A Encoded within the partial mRNA sequence is a region

Part A Encoded within the partial mRNA sequence is a region of the protein with the amino acid sequence (N-term...P-I-E...C-term). What is the correct reading frame for this mRNA? A. 5\' - | GCC | GAU | CGA | ACU | - 3\' B. 5\' - | GCCG | AUCG | AACU | - 3\' C. 5\' - G | CCG | AUC | GAA | CU - 3\' D. 5\' - GC | CGA | UCG | AAC | U - 3

Solution

C. 5\' - G | CCG | AUC | GAA | CU - 3\'

N-term...P-I-E...C-term

The mRNA contains three possible reading frames, of which only one is translated. The codons are translated in the 5\'3\' direction
