to make protein with 178 amino acid from eukaryotic gene having 1350 base pair, the length of initial and processed mRNA transcript would respectively be...?
Gene has 1350 BP.
Initial mRNA is single stranded and complementary to the gene
Thus, initial mRNA = 1350 BP
After splicing,
178 amino acids = 178 codons= 178 × 3 nucleotides
= 534 bp
There are additional 3 stop codons
= 534 + 3 =537 bp
