Hey everyone! I saw this question in the BMAT 2019 and I thought the answer was A (none of them) but it’s actually B, does anyone know why?
500/3 = aprox 166; but what about the STOP and END codons? Shouldnt the answer be 164?
Hi!
i’ve fallen into this trap too many times to count, look at the wording of the question:
we’re talking about a protein section, so already entirely made of amino acids (500/3=166)
Don’t confuse it with a mRNA section that would code for a protein, in which case we would have (500 - 3 start codon - 3 stop codon/3=164)
Hope this helps!
