The correct answer is:
(A) 4, (B) 7
5'-AUG UCA UGG GAG UGA GUU GGG CUA AAA UAG-3'
Number of amino acids in normal condition=4(UGA is a stopping codon)
5'-AUG UCA UGG AGU GAG UUG GGC UAA AAU AG 3'
in the mutated situation (by deletion of 9th nucleotide in cistron part of DNA) = 7 (UAA is stop codon)
Number of amino acids in normal condition=4(UGA is a stopping codon)
5'-AUG UCA UGG AGU GAG UUG GGC UAA AAU AG 3'
in the mutated situation (by deletion of 9th nucleotide in cistron part of DNA) = 7 (UAA is stop codon)
