Detailed explanation-1: -In the given mRNA sequence there are 15 nucleotide . One amino acid codes triplet three nucleotide. So, after addition of adenosine residue the total number of nucleotide is 16. So five amino acids will be coded by the mRNA sequence.
Detailed explanation-2: -The three-letter nature of codons means that the four nucleotides found in mRNA-A, U, G, and C-can produce a total of 64 different combinations. Of these 64 codons, 61 represent amino acids, and the remaining three represent stop signals, which trigger the end of protein synthesis.
Detailed explanation-3: -Out of 64 codons, 61 codons code for 20 types of amino acid.
Detailed explanation-4: -A codon is a DNA or RNA sequence of three nucleotides (a trinucleotide) that forms a unit of genomic information encoding a particular amino acid or signaling the termination of protein synthesis (stop signals). There are 64 different codons: 61 specify amino acids and 3 are used as stop signals.
