NEET Botany Genetic Code MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-diagram based-Hard-Class 12
Consider a diagram depicting the process of translation where a messenger RNA (mRNA) strand is interacting with transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules. The mRNA has a sequence of 'AUGGCUUAA'. Which amino acid sequence will be formed from this mRNA sequence?
A
Methionine-Alanine
B
Methionine-Alanine-Stop
C
Start-Alanine-Stop
D
Start-Glycine-Leucine
Correct Answer
Option B
Detailed Explanation
The mRNA sequence 'AUGGCUUAA' codes for the amino acids Methionine (AUG) and Alanine (GCU) before encountering a stop codon (UAA), as described by the genetic code table. This aligns with the NCERT's explanation of codon functions.
