MCQ
In a translation experiment, two different mRNAs with different nucleotide sequences used are as follows:

mRNA 1:

5' AUG UUU UUA UUU UUA UAA UUC UUG - 3' and

mRNA 2:

5' AUG UUC UUG UUA UUU UAG UUU UUA CUU - 3'

From the following identify the TRUE statement.

  • Both mRNAs code for polypeptides having same molecular weight.
  • B
    Molecular weight of the two polypeptides coded by both mRNAs cannot be compared.
  • C
    mRNA 1 codes for high molecular weight polypeptide than mRNA 2.
  • D
    mRNA 2 codes for high molecular weight polypeptide than mRNA 1.

Answer

Correct option: A.
Both mRNAs code for polypeptides having same molecular weight.
A
