Detailed explanation-1: -Final answer: 33 codons will be altered.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer: If there are 666 bases in a mRNA that codes for a protein with 111 amino acids and the base at position 601 is deleted such that the length of the RNA become 665 then 21 codons will be altered. Explanation: There are 666 bases in the mRNA that code for a protein with 111 amino acids.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: Given-The given protein contains 300 amino acids. Thus, the total number of nucleotides in the gene is 900.
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).
