Question

The gene that encodes for 90 units (amino acids) long protein is:

(a) 10 units long

(b) 30 units long

(c) 270 units long

(d) 360 units long

Answer 1

Each amino acid is encoded by a 3 nucleotide sequence known as a codon. This means that for every 1 amino acid, there must be 3 units of genetic material. 90 amino acids (3 units / amino acid) = 270 units = C
