हिन्दीIf there are 999 bases in an RNA that codes for a protein with 333 amino acids, and the base at position 901 is deleted such that the length of the RNA becomes 998 bases, how many codons will be altered?
Correct answer · Option 3
33
Explanation
Deletion at position 901 affects codons starting from position \( \frac{901}{3} = 300.3 \), i.e., from the 301st codon to the end. Total codons = 333. Number of altered codons = \( 333 - 301 + 1 = 33 \).
