Question

A polypeptide of five amino acids is synthesized during protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells. Which one of the following can be the correct polypeptide? (A) Glycine - valine - methionine - histidine - lysine (B) Methionine - glycine - histidine - lysine - valine (C) Valine - methionine - glycine - histidine - lysine (D) Histidine - lysine - methionine - valine - glycine

Methionine is the starting amino acid that will be present in all the peptides that are synthesized during translation. The start codon for the translation process is AUG/GUG which codes for the amino acid methionine.
