Chapter 14.4, Problem 3R

Summary Introduction

To review:

The discrepancies that would occur if a gene of 1,440 base pairs codes for a polypeptide chain of 192 amino acids.

Introduction:

The code on deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in the form of nucleotides is translated to amino acids to form proteins through the formation of an intermediate ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecule. Triplet of nucleotides on the RNA, codes for one amino acid, and these nucleotides are complementary to the antisense DNA strand.
