a cistron consists of 20 codons. how many amino acids will it code in the polypeptide transcribed . why ?
Dear student,
Please find below the solution to the asked query
A single codon codes for one amino acid. There will be 19 amino acids produced by 20 codons because the last codon present on mRNA is a stop codon that does not code for any amino acid.
Hope this information will clear your doubts about the amino acids coded by cistron with 20 codons.
If you have any more doubts just ask here on the forum and our experts will try to help you out as soon as possible.
