Q. The following sequence contains the open reading frame of a polypeptide. How many amino acids will the polypeptide consists of ?
5' AGCATATGATCGTTTCTCTGCTTTGAACT-3'

KVPYKVPY 2012

Solution:

The given polypeptide will give $7$ amino acids.
As, 5'-AGCATATGATCGTTTCTCTGCTTTG
AACT-3' is an open reading frame
(i.e. contains both initiating and stop codons),
thus will possibly encode $7$ amino acids.
