Please Help! The middle of an mRNA molecule contains the nucleotide sequence shown here. Much more of the mRNA is translated. Assume that the sequence is translated from left to right.

1.

Construct an Explanation Based only on the information provided, why could the mRNA section be translated into three different sets of amino acids, instead of just one set?

2.

Use Models Use the genetic code to translate the sequence into each of the three possible sets of amino acids.

3.

Draw Conclusions Which of the three sets of amino acids is the most likely to be included in the polypeptide? Explain your reasoning.

1. The more bases there are per codon the more information you can code for. There are only 22 different amino acids, in consequence we need minimum 3 bases per codon.

2. codon

three nucleotides—called a triplet or codon—codes for one particular amino acid in the protein. The nucleotide sequence in the DNA is first transcribed into a molecule of messenger RNA (ribonucleic acid).

3. Known as alpha helices and beta sheets, these stable folding patterns make up the secondary structure of a protein. Most proteins contain multiple helices and sheets, in addition to other less common patterns (Figure 2). The ensemble of formations and folds in a single linear chain of amino acids — sometimes called a polypeptide — constitutes the tertiary structure of a protein. Finally, the quaternary structure of a protein refers to those macromolecules with multiple polypeptide chains or subunits.

OKAY I THINK EVERYTHING IS RIGHT BUT SORRY IF WRONG ;)

what are the options? add them, then i will be glad to .
